04:12Seven drivers were arrested in the operation of the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation this morning in Valenzuela.
04:20It is one of the famous passenger buses that was discovered to be expired and has no contents anymore.
04:26Here is the hot news brought to you by James Agusti.
04:32In the inspection of the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation in MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela City,
04:38a bus that came from Balagtas, Bulacan, and Patuhong, Caloocan was closed.
04:42The fire extinguisher of the bus was discovered to be expired and has no contents.
04:47The driver did not close it, but the LTFRB will send a show-cause order to the bus company.
04:52I didn't notice it earlier because I was just here for two days.
04:55I will just report it when we return to the office later.
04:59Next, the jeepneys were closed.
05:02The lights, wheels, handbrake, windshield, and documents were checked.
05:06One of the driver's jeepney did not show ORCR and the seatbelt was not worn.
05:11That's why the bus was closed.
05:13The documents were complete.
05:15Maybe the cleaner in the garage cleaned it.
05:19Maybe he removed it.
05:21They didn't put it.
05:23The plastic of the documents was stuck here.
05:26It's okay.
05:28We have nothing to do with it.
05:30Violation is violation.
05:31A bus that broke the left brake light was also not passed.
05:35This bus had no signal light.
05:37I check it every day. I just forgot about it earlier.
05:40Some passengers were also affected.
05:42But they understood the importance of the inspection.
05:46For safety, sir. It's normal.
05:49It's okay for the safety of the passengers.
05:53Did it affect you?
05:54A little bit because it's late for work.
05:58But it's okay if it's necessary.
06:02Next, the four garbage trucks were also closed because there were no plate numbers.
06:06The driver's documents were also not shown.
06:09I don't know. I'm just in the office.
06:11We only saw seven drivers.
06:14According to SAIG, it's important to ensure that they are in good condition,
06:18especially those who travel by public vehicle.
06:20Our fellow countrymen are riding this bus.
06:24They are taking passengers wherever they go.
06:26That's why we need to ensure that their travel is safe.
06:31Also, we are not only taking care of the passengers,
06:36but also the driver,
06:38as well as our fellow motorists who use public roads.
06:43SAIG is also asking for an understanding of the passengers who were affected.

06:52The EDSA busway will be improved.
06:54That's what the new Transportation Secretary, Vince Dizon,
06:57promised following his appointment with the agency.
06:59According to Dizon, the DOTR is planning to build concourse
07:04or separate tracks for each EDSA busway station.
07:07This is to prevent the passengers of the bus, carousel and MRT from mixing.
07:11The target is to build all concourse in the next year.
07:15The DOTR will also look into extending the operating hours of the MRT and LRT.
