Inspection ordered on Cagayan de Oro taxis

In response to complaints of the proliferation of taxis operating illegally in Cagayan de Oro City, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board in Region 10 (LTFRB-10) started a three-day crackdown on Thursday through massive inspections of these vehicles.

LTFRB-10 Regional Director Aminoden Guro said the inspection aimed to validate the inventory of taxi units that have been issued franchise, and to determine which ones were unregistered.

“We are doing a countercheck to determine if the body number we issued to taxis for three years is still being used by the same units,” Guro said. The inspection is due to be finished today.—JIGGER J. JERUSALEM
