The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is intensifying its monitoring of the implementation of the 20% fare discount for students, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities (PWDs) during the Undas break.
LTFRB Acting Chairman Atty. Greg G. Pua Jr. said transport operators who violate regulations, including refusing passengers, mistreating commuters, or overcharging fares, may face the suspension or cancellation of their Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC).
Around 1.9 million passengers are expected to pass through the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) throughout the Undas break, while the Philippine Ports Authority anticipates a nearly similar number of passengers across ports nationwide.
Pua urged the public to report any abuse or refusal to grant fare discounts through the LTFRB hotline at 1342 or its official social media accounts.
