The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), under the guidance of DOTr Secretary Giovanni โBanoyโ Z. Lopez, has summoned the operator of a passenger bus in a road crash in Quezon City on Friday morning, May 29, that left a senior citizen dead and 21 other passengers.
LTFRB Chairman Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II said the road crash also highlighted the necessity of following traffic rules and regulations, saying the incident stemmed from the bus driver ignoring the traffic light.
Citing a police report, Chairman Vigor said the driver of a bus owned by the 997 Sandigan Transport Service Coop. continue speeding despite the red traffic light sign at the corner of Quezon Avenue and Miriam Defensor Santiago Road at around 5 a.m. on Friday.
As a result, an armored vehicle hit the passenger bus.
โFrom the investigation of the police, it is clear that there was reckless driving involved which compromised the safety of the bus passengers,โ said Chairman Vigor.
โBut we will give the opportunity to explain thatโs why we already issued a Show Cause Order to the operator of the involved passenger bus,โ he added.
In the SCO, the bus operator was informed of the 30-day preventive suspension as well as the order to have the driver involved to explain what happened.
The same SCO directed the bus operator to submit documents of road worthiness inspections and maintenance of the vehicle involved.
โFurther you are hereby directed to file your Answer to the complaint five (5) days before the scheduled hearing,โ the SCO read.
Failure on your part to appear before this Board on the date mentioned above shall be considered as a waiver on your part to be heard and this case shall be decided on the basis of the evidence presented and the records of the Board,โ it added.
Chairman Vigor reminded bus companies and operators of their obligation to ensure that they do not hire reckless drivers, as well as ensure the wellbeing of their employees and the roadworthiness of their units.
โLagi nating aalalahanin na buhay ng tao na nagtitiwala sa inyo ang nakasalalay dito. Suklian po natin sila ng maayos at ligtas na serbisyo,โ said Chairman Vigor. #
