“The safety of the commuting public remains our utmost priority,” stated a representative from the LTO. “This decisive action underscores our commitment to accountability and adherence to the President’s mandate for secure and efficient public transportation. We will conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident to prevent future occurrences.”
