[Title] => Amend law on colorum vehicles, solons urged
[Summary] => Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr. is urging lawmakers to amend the law on public conveyance in colorum operations.
Concerned about the proliferation of the colorum PUVs, Abalos argued that the fines imposed on violators are not enough to stop the illegal operation.
At present, vehicles apprehended for colorum operations are impounded until the owners pay the fines.
