INSPECTION OF PASSENGERS AND BAGGAGE/LUGGAGE
robbery/hold-ups has become rampant on public utility vehicles
particularly those plying the north and south routes thus posing hazards
to the life and limb of the commuting public.
Reports indicate that the perpetrators of this criminal act employ a
simple modus operandi; that is, they board public utility buses on
terminals/stations under the guise of regular paying passengers.
As preventive measures to curb the occurrence of such malicious and
injurious activity, the Board hereby orders all operators of public
utility buses (PUB) of all types traversing a distance of more than 100
kilometers to perform and do the following acts, to wit:
1. To adopt a system of inspection on all passengers
including their baggage/luggage prior to boarding and conduct a rigid
check for deadly weapons that includes but is not limited to firearms,
explosives, knives of three or more inches in length and the likes.2. To define and specify a system of boarding and alighting
of passengers on a designated terminal in a city/municipal/ barangay
proper. No boarding and alighting shall be allowed on an uninhabited
place.
This Memorandum Circular takes effect immediately.
