Newly-installed LTFRB Chairman Vigor D. Mendoza II has ordered all regional directors to submit data on issued and active transport franchises within seven days.
This initiative aims to address public transportation issues, particularly in urban areas, through data-driven decision-making.
Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez described the state of public transport in Metro Manila as chaotic, urging officials to experience commuting firsthand.
Commuters in Metro Manila and other urban centers in the Visayas and Mindanao face long travel times.
Mendoza draws on his experience tackling transport issues, including license plate backlogs, to improve the system.
