THE Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has summoned the operators and managers of 10 bus and public utility vehicle terminals in Pangasinan and La Union for alleged violations of their business licenses.
LTFRB chief Vigor Mendoza II said the issuance of the show cause order followed surprise inspections conducted by the agency’s regional office headed by director Cristal Sibayan.
“This is just a proof that this is not a ‘ningas kugon’ operation. We will continue to conduct operations until all of the terminal operators comply with the basic rights of commuters for safe and comfortable commuting experience,” he said.
Based on the reports from Region 1, the common violations included lack of roofing to shield passengers from weather conditions, lack of functional comfort rooms, and lack of CCTVs and security personnel.
