Why is another bus company using the Florida terminal?

A formal announcement would have prevented the wild theories.

“When Transport Pro Services Inc. was seen using the terminal of G.V. Florida—the bus line whose unit was involved in the Bontoc bus crash that killed comedian Tado Jimenez and several others last February—it fueled speculations that the suspended company had only repainted its buses and changed its name,” reports dzMM correspondent Zhander Cayabyab on ABS-CBNnews.com.

However, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Chief Winston Ginez explained that Transport Pro had written a letter to his office, asking permission to use G.V. Florida’s terminal on Earnshaw Street in Sampaloc, Manila.

Due to various violations, the G.V. Florida line is suspended until September 19, 2014.

Meanwhile, Ginez said that Transport Pro “is a legitimate and registered bus operator that has been in operation for years.” He added though that they “will investigate the speculations that G.V. Florida is operating under a new name.”
