The Land Transportation Office (LTO), headed by Executive Director Atty. Greg G. Pua Jr., with LTO-NCR Regional Director Roque I. Verzosa III and Senator Raffy Tulfo, is actively inspecting bus terminals in Pasay City. This initiative is part of their preparation for the anticipated surge in travelers during the UNDAS season.
LTO and LTFRB Conduct Bus Inspections at Pasay City Terminals to Ensure Safety
Representatives from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) were also present, reinforcing safety measures. These include conducting random drug tests on bus drivers to enhance the reliability and safety of public transport services for travelers.
In the Philippines, UNDAS traditions are deeply rooted in community and devotion, especially in provincial areas, where practices often differ from urban customs. The surge in road activity as people travel home for UNDAS has prompted the LTO, with local government units, to establish assistance desks and conduct random vehicle inspections, promoting a safer travel experience. Additional measures such as road closures near cemeteries and traffic rerouting are also implemented to manage the increased traffic flow.
The Land Transportation Office (LTO), along with other agencies, works tirelessly during this period to facilitate safe travel operations. They manage checkpoints, inspect vehicles, and coordinate efforts to reduce traffic accidents, ensuring a safe journey for families as they travel to honor their loved ones.
