The purpose of this is to guarantee that there are enough express buses to handle the surge in travelers who are returning to their hometowns during the holiday season. It stated that "applications are limited to economic services only" and that express buses and stage buses that are older than the age restriction and have been approved by Puspakom VR1 Special Report (Code 9009) are also eligible to apply.
