LTO-NCR relaunches Oplan Isnabero to catch taxi drivers refusing passengers

The Land Transportation Office - National Capital Region (LTO-NCR) is set to relaunch "Oplan Isnabero" starting Sunday, April 20, to apprehend taxi drivers who refuse or selectively pick up passengers in Metro Manila.

This intensified operation aims to ensure public transportation remains accessible following the influx of travelers returning from Holy Week activities.

The LTO-NCR's crackdown will continue until Wednesday, April 23.

Regional Director Roque Verzosa III emphasized that apprehended drivers refusing passengers will face penalties.

Violating taxi drivers may incur fines from P5,000 to P15,000, with the possibility of their Certificate of Public Conveyance being revoked, as per Joint Administrative Order No. 2014-01.

"Oplan Isnabero" is integrated into the broader "Oplan Biyaheng Ayos: Oplan Semana Santa and Summer Vacation 2025" initiative.

Separately, the LTO announced on Friday that it will issue show cause orders to drivers who committed traffic violations during the Holy Week.
