The Land Transportation Office will become more visible at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) by deploying more personnel to conduct regular random inspections.
“We are making NAIA and its surroundings a Discipline Zone, and the deployment of our personnel there will be the start to ensure compliance with the regulations of these drivers,” LTO Chief Vigor Mendoza II said.
The deployment would make the response system more active and real-time against drivers of taxis and other modes of public transportation who are overcharging passengers.
Mendoza assured that the agency personnel would inform airport passengers on where to go to complain against erring public utility vehicle drivers.
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon previously warned of consequences against erring taxis, stressing that their companies may also suffer consequences.
Mendoza has since said they would push for additional measures against abusive PUV drivers, such as the proposal to double penalties against them.
