LTO-7’s Oplan: Undas 2023 ends on Friday, November 3.
“Because of the long holidays, we expect the influx of passengers by Saturday, November 4. So our team remains on alert in making sure that our riding public will have a safe journey back to their homes,” said Galario.
As part of Oplan: Undas operations, LTO-7 conducted random terminal inspections at the Cebu North Bus Terminal, Cebu South Bus Terminal, SM City Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Terminal, Hagnaya Port Terminal, Daanbantayan Bus Terminal, Bantayan Island Transport Terminal, and Bogo PUV Terminal in Cebu.

Galario said out of the 760 PUVs that were inspected in these terminals, 38 were found to have various defects.
Operators were ordered to immediately fix the defects so they will be allowed to transport passengers again.
