PUBLIC transport drivers, dispatchers, conductor and vendors will soon be required to wear identification cards and uniform when they go inside the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT).
Joey Herrera, CSBT manager, said this is part of their security measures.
Those who don’t have ID cards will not be allowed to loiter inside the CSBT and will have to stay inside the bus.
“This will help us identify who these people inside the terminal are. So we’re now strictly implementing this. Everybody has been informed as early as last week,” he said.
He warned that those who violate the policy will be banned from the terminal.
The new policy was implemented after several theft cases were reported.
Danilo Yuson and his wife, who are from Cagayan de Oro City, are now stranded in Cebu after they lost their P2,300 boat fare while sleeping in the terminal.
Even the guard was not spared. He lost his bag, which he placed inside the guard house.
Herrera said he already announced this policy when he met with bus operators last July.
“If they don’t have an ID, then they will have to stay inside the bus. They cannot loiter inside the bus terminal,” he said.
