The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) on Ftiday said its Regional Office IV-A has issued a Show Cause Order against a public utility jeepney (PUJ) operator involved in a multiple-vehicle collision that injured seven people along Felix Avenue in Cainta, Rizal on 28 May, 2025.
LTFRB Chairperson Atty. Teofilo Guadiz III said this is in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to prioritize road safety and accountability in public transport.
The jeepney, with plate number DVR 757 and operated by Tanay Binangonan Cainta Sta. Lucia Transport Cooperative, was seen in CCTV footage crashing into several vehicles, including two multi-purpose vehicles and a motorcycle, at approximately 8 a.m.
“President Marcos has been clear in directing all transport agencies to uphold commuter safety and enforce strict accountability among operators and drivers,” Guadiz said.
“This is our response. We are implementing that directive and holding those responsible to account,” he added.
The operator was ordered to appear at a hearing scheduled on June 6, 2025 at 2 PM at the LTFRB IV-A office in Lipa City and to submit a written explanation as to why its Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) should not be suspended, revoked, or canceled for employing a reckless driver.
Guadiz said employing reckless and irresponsible drivers on the roads will not be tolerated.
“Operators must ensure that their drivers are qualified, disciplined, and trained to protect, not endanger the public,” he added.
This enforcement action reflects the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) ongoing efforts to follow through on the President’s directive and to restore public confidence in public transportation.
“We are doing our part to deliver on the President’s order by ensuring public safety is non-negotiable,” Guadiz said.
“This incident must serve as a warning to all operators: failure to comply with traffic laws will have serious consequences.”
The LTFRB assures the public that it will continue coordinating with local authorities to investigate the incident and ensure that affected passengers receive necessary assistance.
