00:0020 passenger buses in Quezon City were found and arrested this morning.
00:05The last buses that had a problem when it comes to safety but are still traveling.
00:10This is the hot news brought to you by Beya Pinla.
00:16Expired or no fire extinguisher,
00:18the lights are not working,
00:20the windows are broken and the wheels are rusted.
00:23These are the common violations of the passenger buses
00:26that were caught by the Special Action and Intelligence Committee on Transportation
00:30in Quezon City this morning.
00:32Less than 20 buses were found and arrested as of 6 a.m.
00:38Some of them,
00:39the operators may issue a show-cause order
00:43to explain why their buses violated regulatory standards.
00:47We need to make sure that our countrymen have a safe travel
00:53whenever they ride our public buses.
00:56If we see a violation, we will immediately issue a show-cause order.
01:00If not, we will issue a show-cause order to the LTO and LTFRB.
01:07One of the arrested buses,
01:08the handbrake did not work for more than a year according to its driver.
01:14The fire extinguisher was used up and there was no early warning device.
01:18We are in danger.
01:20This is the only thing we can do to prevent the compressor from running out of air.
01:26If we run out of air,
01:28we will stop because the bus can no longer handle it.
01:33The roadworthiness checks of the buses will be more strict and regular.
01:40Because there are many accidents happening in our roads,
01:44we are trying to prevent them.
01:47Before we allow our drivers and conductors to travel,
01:50we need to make sure that the papers and the vehicle that they will use for their travel are in good condition.
01:59Some bus drivers and conductors understand that this kind of inspection is needed
02:05to keep the roads safe.
02:08Some of the drivers traveled without a signal light and many others did not.
02:16This is the right thing to do.
