DOTC eyes IT against ‘colorums’

Seeking to solve wide-ranging issues caused by the illegal operations of buses and other public utility vehicles, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) are resorting to modern technology, in line with a strong anticolorum campaign.

“The colorum problem has many implications—from simple traffic congestion, to commuter safety, environmental pollution and quality of life. What we’re looking for is an integrated system which makes the best use of progressive technology-based solutions to curb these problem areas,” said Migs Sagcal, spokesperson for DOTC.
