Transit is the second studio album by the Pinoy rock band Sponge Cola, released on September 8, 2006, and their first under Universal Records.[1][2][3] The album was certified Platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI) with sales of 40,000 physical CD copies to date.[citation needed]

Transit spawned a carrier single, "Bitiw", which was released to radio stations on August 23. In 2008, Transit was re-released as Transit Deluxe, which features additional songs, acoustic versions of songs, a cover song by APO Hiking Society, and a radio edit version, as well as a Video CD (VCD) containing music videos.

In late 2013, Transit Deluxe was re-issued as part of Palabas & Transit Collection, a release that also includes the standard edition of Sponge Cola's debut album Palabas; this release does not include a VCD.

Background

[edit]

In an interview, Yael Yuzon explained, "I think on the first record we just wanted to have an album out as a collection of songs written from high school; while on Transit, we wanted to push the limits of our song-writing so we took a creatively different approach for every song."[citation needed]

[edit]

The single "Bitiw" was used as a theme song for the television series Pedro Penduko.[4][5] It was also performed in the second season of Your Face Sounds Familiar, when Yael Yuzon dueted with KZ Tandingan, the latter of whom impersonated Yael.
