This year the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB)7 will implement a more stricter 'No Standing Policy' for public transport. If the public utility buses (PUBs) caught allowing passengers to stand inside their vehicles, the operator would pay a penalty of  P5,000 on the first offense and it will increase on the second or third offense.

Violators that are caught will be issued a temporary operator's permit by the LTO and an inspection report summons by the LTFRB, Sunstar reported.
