00:01The Transportation Department says public utility vehicle drivers will soon be required to undergo mandatory drug testing every 90 days, the cost of which will be shouldered by their operators.
00:12This is part of new road safety measures the DOTR will be implementing after twin road tragedies.
00:18The crash along the Subic-Clark-Tarlac expressway that killed 10 people, and an SUV that crashed into a crowd at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, killing two, including a five-year-old.
00:29On Friday, May 2, a solid north bus driver caused a fatal crash after he reportedly fell asleep behind the wheel.
00:36The bus was speeding when it rammed into other vehicles along a tall plaza.
00:40The impact was so severe that authorities had trouble identifying passengers of the 15-foot Nissan Urvan that was compacted to just three feet.
00:49On Monday, Land Transportation Chief Vigor Mendoza said the bus driver's license has already been suspended and the driver perpetually disqualified when he refused to take the drug test following the incident.
01:01Solid North has also been suspended.
01:03Meanwhile, Operator Ramon Ang told the DOTR they will fix the issue with the bollards, which is supposed to block vehicles from getting near individuals.
