Solons slam hike in fines for ‘colorum’ vehicles

Instead of calling on drivers and operators of public utility vehicles as well as motorists to obey the law, lawmakers have assailed the exorbitant fees slapped on operators of colorum or unregistered PUVs and errant drivers.

The congressmen expressed support for protesting transport groups that on Thursday failed to paralyze public transportation as their “transport caravan” had a minimal effect on commuters, according to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
