The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has suspended all transport operators in Central Visayas following a directive from its head, Gimand. The decision comes after an inspection revealed violations of operating standards, according to sunstar.com.ph.
The suspension affects all public transport services, including buses and jeepneys, across the region. Operators were ordered to halt operations until further notice. The LTFRB cited safety concerns and non-compliance with regulatory requirements as the main reasons for the action.
The move has disrupted daily commutes for residents in Cebu, Bohol, and other nearby provinces. Local authorities are working to provide alternative transportation options. The LTFRB has promised to resume operations once all issues are resolved.
The suspension highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining transport safety and compliance in the region. Further details on the inspection findings are expected in the coming days. (sunstar.com.ph)
