Learn more about the government’s efforts to ensure road safety by collecting millions in fines from unauthorized public utility vehicles. These vehicles pose risks as they operate without proper authorization and charge higher fares. The Department of Transportation (DoTr) has announced that it collected a significant amount of P20.8 million in penalties from colorum public utility vehicles (PUVs) in 2023.
