The Department of Transportation and Communications, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board and the Land Transportation Office were told to respond to a filing by the Angat Tsuper/Stop and Go group, which wants Joint Administrative Order (JAO) 2014-001 declared unconstitutional.
The group claims the JAO contains "vague" provisions, among others not specifying who will pay the penalties of violators of vehicles operating as a public transport without the requisite certificates of public convenience.
Angat Tsuper likewise claimed the JAO violated the right to due process by raising the fines substantially, to as high as P1 million for buses operating without a valid CPC, P200,000 for trucks, P50,000 for jeepneys, P200,000 for vans, P120,000 for sedans and P6,000 for motorcycles.
A trucking company, meanwhile has joined in the fight by filing another petition for review.
Ximex Delivery Express, Inc. (XDE) said the transportation agencies went beyond their mandate as the order does not regulate but instead "curtails" an individual's right to earn a living.
"[The new rules] deprive the owners of the fleets ... from pursuing what could be the only means of livelihood that they know," XDE said..
