Social responsibility of the public transport utility operators and drivers nationwide, including Bohol, may be gauged if they truly respond to the calls for discounted fares to the students and the elderly folk.

The Land Transport Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) regional office has warned drivers and operators of public utilities plying their trade here to give discounts to students and senior citizens. Failure to do so will mean drivers and operators will be slapped with severe penalties, said regional director Ahmed Cuizon in an exclusive interview with DyTR news corps.

Cuizon urged those who are not given this privilege to report to the authorities concerned erring drivers for failure to honor the law providing for discounted fares.

LTFRB officials led by Cuizon has responded to the request of the city officials to do the consultation and attending to the concerns of the public utilities operators in the province. It has also undertaken the issuance of the verification processes and certification of the applications for public transport vehicles.

The transport group in the city were grateful for LTFRB, in the same way that LTFRB to the city government for providing and allowing the agency to do its job under the city hall roof.
