THE Office of the City Administrator has urged residents anew to report erring tricycle drivers so that appropriate actions can be undertaken.

Assistant City Administrator Cesar Raz said the residents must bring their complaints to the local government, in particular to the Tricycle Adjudication Board (TAB), so that cases can be filed against erring drivers.

Raz has assured the public that measures will be undertaken to resolve all complaints brought to the attention of the TAB.

Earlier this year, the local government, through Ordinance 458, increased the administrative fines for erring drivers and operators.

Violations of the tricycle ordinance can result to administrative fines to P5,000 including cancellation or revocation of the franchise for drivers.

Offenses include refusal to convey passenger or freight to proper destination, and overcharging the authorized schedule of fare and freight, which follows a prescribed fare matrix.
