CPC iginawad ng LTFRB Caraga sa isang kooperatiba sa Butuan

LUNGSOD NG BUTUAN -- Sa ilalim ng Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program ng gobyerno, isang Certificate of Public Convenience ang iginawad ng Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board o LTFRB Caraga sa Diamond Transport Service Cooperative o DATSCO, isang kooperatiba sa Butuan City para sa bago at modernong sasakyan na mapapakinabangan ng mga Caraganon.
Masaya at lubos ang pasasalamat ni Nestor dela Peña, ang chairperson ng DATSCO dahil sa panibagong hamon na gagampanan ng kooperatiba pagkatapos ng pandemya, kung saan labis na naapektuhan ang kanilang operasyon.

Sa ceremonial signing at awarding ng Certificate of Public Convenience, pinaalalahanan ni LTFRB regional director Jhorgene Paronia ang mga operator at myembro ng kooperatiba na gawing maayos at kalidad ang kanilang serbisyo upang mapanatili ang kanilang estado sa publiko at maranasan ng mga caraganon ang modernong pampublikong sasakyan.

Ayon kay LTFRB Caraga regional director Paronia, hindi madali ang pagkuha ng Certificate of Public Convenience, dahil may kaakibat itong malaking responsibilad sa mga operators, at pwede rin itong bawiin kung hindi nasusunod ang mga alituntunin at mapanatiling maayos ang operasyon.

Ang DATSCO ay may bagong labing limang (15) public utility jeepney na bibyahe mula sa syudad ng Butuan hanggang Nasipit, Agusan del Norte, at dalawampu’t limang taxi (25) units naman na bibyahe sa iba’t ibang lugar ng rehiyon. (NCLM/PIA Agusan del Norte)
