And with quarantine precautions still implemented, public transport are still not 100%. A few days ago, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) has cancelled the operations of MRT because of a high case of COVID-19 infection that affected their workforce.
Because all of these have to be taken into consideration, the typical Filipino who are committed and has the “fighter” in them will withstand all of this challenges. That is why in the new normal, bike and motorcycle has become the ride of choice.
As part of the “new normal,” motorcycles are becoming the perfect partner as a reliable mode of transportation.

One motorcycle that stands out is the All-New Honda Genio. Since its launch, The Genio is getting a lot more attention thanks to its style, focus on safety and fuel economy.
