(UPDATES) AT least 18 of the 23 senators are pushing to suspend the Public Transport Modernization Program (PTMP), formerly called the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP).

The call came after the July 23 hearing of the Senate Committee on Public Services, which concluded that the program was implemented without proper planning and that it was rushed.
