This initiative also aims to improve the overall passenger experience by providing safer and more comfortable modes of transportation.

A Thorough Review Process Ensures Effective Use

The LTFRB ensured a thorough review process for subsidy applications to guarantee that every centavo given as a subsidy is used effectively to benefit the transport sector and ultimately, the riding public. Mendoza emphasized that the agency wants to ensure that the funds will be used to contribute significantly to improving public transportation.

Conclusion A Significant Milestone
