Another city bus operator has been suspended by the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
MSJ Tours has been placed under 90-day preventive suspension after one of its buses hit several concrete barriers along EDSA-Santolan on Monday.In a statement, the Department of Transportation denounced the firm as with Jervin Mamac, the driver of the bus with conduction sticker number U1 L782, for gross violation of road transport rules.
The Land Transportation Office has since issued a show cause order placing the firm under suspension, also accusing Mamc of violating Section 27 or the Improper Person to Operate a Motor Vehicle and Section 48 or Reckless Driving of the Republic Act 4136 known as the Land Transportation and Traffic Code.According to the DOTr, the LTO and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board will conduct an immediate investigation on the incident.
The DOTr said it was the third time that a public utility bus committed an “act of recklessness” on EDSA in the past days. Only last week, a speeding Joanna Jesh Transport bus with plate number CAP 5133, and a Roval Transport PUB with plate number NDQ2621, also hit several barriers along EDSA in separate incidents.
The DOTr reiterates, “Let this serve as a warning to all our road transport partners that the DOTr, LTFRB, and LTO will never tolerate this irresponsible and reckless manner of driving by authorized PUBs which poses a danger to life and possible damage to property.”
