00:00Senate Chair of Public Services Raffy Tulfo led the hearing on a list of woes plaguing the transportation industry

00:06to include the growing number of public transport bus accidents as a result of poor maintenance and brake failure.

00:13Drivers refusing to slow down approaching pedestrian lanes or crosswalks

00:17and rising deaths on a stretch of Tanay Highway where modern bikers race each other illegally.

00:23The full report from our Daniel Manalastas.

00:27The Senate Public Services Committee conducted a hearing to discuss various road and transportation problems.

00:35Among them, the problems of some issues, particularly commuter buses that usually end up in road accidents due mostly to brake failure.

00:45Why? There are a lot of buses that lose brakes. Is it maintenance? Yes.

00:54Are they surplus in other countries that are converted?

00:58They pass through Subic, converted from right-hand drive to left-hand drive.

01:02And when it comes to conversion, it's not good.

01:07It affects the mechanical.

01:10In the DOTR, we take 100% of the concern that you have raised on the matter.

01:19The buses that apply to the franchise, the requirement is that they need to enter the franchise.

01:29Also tackled in the hearing is the total disregard for pedestrian lanes or street crosswalks.

01:35Senator Raffy Tulfo has proposed this solution to the problem.

01:40While advocacy groups also voiced their complaints.

01:43Maybe we should put a humps.

01:45Except if there is a stoplight.

01:48If there is no stoplight, let's put a humps.

01:51To really force the vehicles to stop.

01:55They already know, because the hands have power.

01:59They said, we will hit more at the same time.

02:03So the accident cannot be avoided.

02:07Whatever defense we are doing.

02:09Meanwhile, a number of complaints also reached senators regarding the reported deaths along Marilake Highway.

02:16As some reports allege of the roadway's transformation to a racetrack.

02:21When motorcycle riders congregate on it for their need for speed and racing.

02:27This is the exact location, General.

02:29From Tanay to Tanay.

02:32The record of our deaths there is huge.

02:35Even the motorcycles are being made into a raider.

02:40A lot of people died, including private vehicles.

02:43I don't want to hear that there are deaths there.

02:46They are making it into a racing track.

02:49I think sir, the police regional office is aware of this.

02:55But we will direct them again to intensify their presence in that area.

03:00Daniel Imran Astaz from the National TV for a new and better Philippines.
