MANILA—The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has summoned 21 operators of buses and UV Express units for various violations, the agency announced Saturday.
Show cause orders were issued following an enforcement operation targeting non-compliance with Edsa Busway rules and the operation of dilapidated vehicles. The LTFRB deployment resulted in the identification of multiple operators breaching established regulations governing public transport services in the capital region.
The summons require operators to explain their violations and demonstrate compliance with franchise conditions. The enforcement action underscores the regulatory board's commitment to maintaining standards for public transportation and ensuring the safety of commuters.
The LTFRB continues monitoring public transport operations across Metro Manila and surrounding areas to enforce compliance with operational guidelines and vehicle maintenance standards. Operators failing to address violations face potential penalties including fines and franchise suspension.
