“The LTO is serious in putting a stop to rampant violations of land transportation rules and regulations.  As part of our reform program, one of our priorities is to instill orderliness on our roads, for both public utility and private vehicles,” LTO Assistant Secretary Alfonso Tan Jr.

Aabot sa P6,000 ang multa sa mga motorsiklo, P50,000 sa mga jeep, P120,000 sa mga kotse, P200,000 sa mga van at trak, at halos P1 milyon sa mga bus.

“These colorum buses have been impounded in accordance with JAO 2014-01, and the fines will go straight to the National Treasury, once paid. Let this be a warning to colorum operators. The LTO will enforce traffic rules for the sole purpose of ensuring safety in land transportation."
