PAGADIAN CITY, Feb.
19 (PNA) -–The Rural Transit Mindanao, Incorporated (RTMI) continue its
operation here despite suspension order from the Land Transportation
Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).
The RTMI is one of
the two bus firms the LTFRB has placed on Monday under a 30-day preventive
suspension after one of its buses figured in an accident last Saturday that
injured 20 passengers, mostly teachers, in the municipality of Siay, Zamboanga
Sibugay.
The other bus firm
placed under preventive suspension together with RTMI is the Antonina Line
after one of its bus figured in an accident Sunday in Libmanan, Camarines Sur
that killed five passengers and injured 46 others.
RTMI Terminal in-charge
Jimmy Villanueva said Wednesday they continue operation since the management
did not inform them concerning the LTFRB suspension order.
The RTMI is the only
bus firm that served the cities and provinces here in Western Mindanao and in
Northern Mindanao areas.
Meanwhile,
businessman Alejandro Macaso said the suspension of the RTMI will greatly
affect the business sector especially those who rely on the bus firm in
transporting their goods. (PNA)
