Commuter woes in Cavite increase as LTFRB intensifies anti-colorum drive

Commuters scrambled for Manila-bound bus rides on Aguinaldo Highway in Bacoor, Cavite on Thursday as buses were hard to come by following the government's anti-colorum drive, a report on Unang Balita said.

As early as 5 a.m., passengers mobbed every bus that stopped and tried to get on it even if it was already fully packed, GMA News' Vonne Aquino reported.

Aside from buses, UV Express vans plying the route also decreased in number after these were banned from using Metro Manila's main thoroughfare, EDSA.

Some commuters told GMA News the buses were not enough to service their needs in spite of the directive of the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to operators to add bus trips. —KG, GMA News
