President of the Philippines endorses BRT for Cebu City
Mayor Tomas Osmeña’s proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system for Cebu City got a boost yesterday when no less than President Arroyo endorsed it and gave a go signal for the project to proceed.
Like Osmeña, Arroyo is excited about the BRT for Cebu City and other cities in Metro Cebu, and has asked Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) Undersecretary Ann Lontoc to help the City Government with the requirements for its implementation.

A discussion forum to track the progress of the Cebu BRT project was also set up: http://cebu-brt.com/

New CAI-Asia Blog + Clean Air & Blue Skies
CAI-Asia has had an online presence for a number of years now, and our website and listserv has always been active in the Asian air quality and sustainable transport scene. But as we continue to develop as an organization, we must also adapt with technology and acquire new online habits. It is our pleasure to announce that the CAI-Asia Center will (finally) be represented in the blogosphere. Take a look: cai-asia.blogspot.com. Don't forget to check out the blue-skies-asia.blogspot.com, the official blog of the Clean Air and Blue Skies for Asia exchange program organized by the CAI-Asia Center and CAI-Asia Country Networks with support from Fredskorpset (FK) Norway.
