ZAMBOANGA CITY (Mindanao Examiner / Nov. 12, 20120 – The Land Transportation Office in Western Mindanao is set to launch a massive campaign against overloaded passenger vehicles in Zamboanga City in an effort to curb the rampant violations of the law and to protect the riding public from grave dangers.

Lawyer Aminola Abaton, LTO regional director, he would order a crackdown on erring drivers violating the law.

“We have received many complaints about this and I myself have witnessed how these jeepneys and buses violate the laws. Passengers who sit on the roof or hang by the rear of the jeep risk grave dangers and these (practice) must be stopped,” he told the Mindanao Examiner.

Many transport vehicles plying the east coast villages take passengers more than the capacity of their jeepney, but nothing has been done by the traffic police and traffic personnel from City Hall about this violation.

Abaton said they would also crackdown on unlicensed passenger jeepneys and tricycles in Zamboanga. He also appealed to the public to report traffic violators to the LTO by simply calling their Hotline Number at (062) 9924110.

“We are appealing to all to help us in our campaign and you can report traffic violators by calling our hotline number,” he said. (Mindanao Examiner)
