Road safety a must for Holy Week

Safety hazards were discovered during a surprise inspection by Senator Raffy Tulfo, chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Services, of the situation at the Cebu North Bus Terminal.

- 

As per his own social media account, he mentioned violations such as expired or missing fire extinguishers, poor-quality seats, worn tires, faulty clutch systems tied together with a rubber band, and the absence of mandatory safety equipment like glass breakers and working CCTV monitors.

"Ito yung parang ataol na tumatakbo sa kalye. Takaw-disgrasya po ito,” the senator said about one of the buses he inspected.

He also said the terminal itself lacked air-conditioning and that many of the bag trolleys were unusable.
