MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board pointed fingers at one another over the supposed agreement on the implementation of the window hours scheme. 

 

A number of bus companies, including First North Luzon Transit Inc., Victory Liner Inc., and Five Star Bus Company released separate advisories announcing they are suspending bus trips because "authorities" required only 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. window hours for provincial buses in Metro Manila.

 

This means that passengers leaving the National Capital Region for their provinces will have to wait until 10 p.m. for their bus trips due to the new provincial bus travel scheme.
