Regulators threaten bus operators over substandard Manila terminals
What happened
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board inspected transport terminals in Manila on October 29, 2026, citing substandard passenger facilities. The LTFRB issued separate show cause orders to Victory Liner Inc. and Ohayami Trans, warning that they could lose their operating franchises. Inspectors found deficiencies at Ohayami's terminal, including poor ventilation and insufficient waiting space, while Victory Liner's restrooms lacked a water supply.
