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

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]}

In popular culture

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.
