Operators and drivers of public utility vehicles, particularly those plying provincial or long routes, should always ensure the road worthiness of their units amid the expected increase in the number of passengers for the All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.

This was the reminder of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) as millions of Filipinos begin to prepare for their travel to their home provinces and other destinations for the “Undas” which will also provide a long holiday break.

Acting LTFRB Chairman Atty. Greg G. Pua, Jr. said ensuring that every PUV unit is properly maintained is an obligation that each operator must comply with based on the conditions set in the issuance of Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) and other authority to operate.

“Always remember that your passengers pay not only for them to reach their destinations but also for the trust and confidence that they will travel safely and comfortably,” said Acting Chairman Pua.

This is in line with the instruction of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos, Jr. to Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Giovanni “Banoy” Z. Lopez, to ensure road safety and protection of all travelers and road users.

Millions of Filipinos are expected to go to provinces and other areas for the “Undas” and vacation plans. The significant increase in the number of passengers are expected to start on Friday, October 30.

In order to ensure that the demand for more passenger buses is met, the LTFRB issued special permits to more than 1,200 passenger buses across the country—most of them are Metro Manila to various parts of Luzon routes, and vice versa.

Acting Chairman Pua, however, said the reminder for the road worthiness of PUVs also extends to other modes of public transportation as millions of people are also expected to tap taxis, ride-hailing services and other PUVs on their way to and from bus terminals and other transportation hubs like airports and seaports.

“Let us do away with the ‘puwede pa yan’ mentality. Lives of people are at stake and as responsible operators and drivers, it is always a must to regularly check the condition of your units,” he said.

Aside from the lives of the drivers and passengers, Acting Chairman Pua said poorly-maintained PUV units also pose safety threats to other road users.

“Our reminder for road safety comes with a warning of serious legal consequences. Let us not go that way by simply complying with the obligations which you promised to observe when you were applying for the CPC and authority to operate,” he said. #

In line with the instruction of President Ferdinand “Bongbong’ R. Marcos, Jr., the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), under the guidance of Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Giovanni “Banoy” Z. Lopez, reminded bus operators to ensure that their drivers and conductors will honor the 20% discount to students, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities.

Acting LTFRB Chairman Atty. Greg G. Pua, Jr. issued both the reminder and the warning as millions are expected to travel across the country to visit their departed loved ones in their home provinces.

“We expect all the operators to give a gentle reminder to their drivers and conductors about the mandatory fare discount. Remember, damay kayo sa anumang reklamo at insidente ng paglabag sa regulasyong ito,” said Acting Chairman Pua.

Aside from either suspension or cancellation of the Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC), those who would not honor the fare discount face the penalty of violating the law that specified the fare discount for each of the three sectors.

For senior citizens, it is the Republic Act 9994 and RA 11314 for the students. For the PWDs, the law that governs the fare discount is RA 10754.

What the agency tries to prevent, according to Acting Chairman Pua, are complaints by commuters in relation to fare discounts, as he emphasized that Filipinos travelling for All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day should have a comfortable travel experience.

He also emphasized the need for both drivers and conductors to be courteous at all times, especially to passengers who need special assistance.

The LTFRB earlier approved special permits for more than 1,000 passenger buses to meet the significant increase in the demand for vehicles to and from urban areas to provinces.

But Acting Chairman Pua also extended the fare discount reminder to all public utility vehicles (PUVs) as millions of people are also expected to tap other modes of transportation to and from bus terminals and other transportation hubs during the Undas exodus.

“We will strengthen our monitoring system, both on the ground and on social media in order to ensure compliance of PUV operators,” said Acting Chairman Pua.

He also urged netizens to report any incident of abuses to the LTFRB Hotline 1342 and other social media accounts of the agency. #

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), under the guidance of Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Giovanni “Banoy” Z. Lopez, warned taxi operators against overcharging passengers as millions of Filipinos start their travel to their hometowns for the annual All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.

Acting LTFRB Chairman Atty. Greg G. Pua, Jr. said violations of the existing rules and regulations on fare overcharging, snubbing, and disrespecting passengers could lead to suspension or cancellation of the Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) and other penalties.

“We expect more passengers going to bus terminals and other major transportation hubs starting next week. This early, we are giving a fair warning to all taxi operators to behave and stick to the rules and regulations of the authority to operate issued to them,” said Acting Chairman Pua.

This is in line with the instruction of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr. to ensure comfortable and hassle-free travel for Filipinos through strict implementation of rules and regulations on public transportation.

The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) said it is expecting around 1.9 million passengers to troop to its establishment for the entire “Undas” break, while the Philippine Ports Authority also expects roughly the same number of passengers in various ports across the country.

Acting Chairman Pua said they expect more passengers to proceed to other bus terminals in Quezon City, Manila, Pasay City, Caloocan City, and Muntinlupa, where provincial bus terminals are also located.

Amid the expected influx of passengers, Acting Chairman Pua said that the LTFRB law enforcement and social media team will also be active in monitoring complaints and compliance with the CPC rules and regulations.

He said LTFRB law enforcers will be conducting random and surprise visits and are expected to tap the services of mystery riders.

On the part of the LTFRB social media team, he said it was tasked to regularly monitor viral posts and other complaints that are sent to the agency via social media tags, messaging, and even calls.

“The LTFRB is in full force when it comes to monitoring. This should serve as a strong message to both operators and drivers that we are watching you, and that you know what would happen if we catch you,” said Acting Chairman Pua.

He also urged netizens to report any incident of abuse to the LTFRB Hotline 1342 and other social media accounts of the agency.

“We assure all our kababayan that we will be actively monitoring and will be quick in acting on all their complaints,’ said Acting Chairman Pua.

“Magtulong-tulong tayo para bigyan ng leksyon ang mga abusadong PUV driver para sa maayos, komportable at kapanatagan sa pagbiyahe ninyo ngayong Undas,” he added. #
