c. How can the public avail of such sevicesLand Transportation, a collective term for Road Transportation, Rail System and Infrastructure,are characterized as inexpensive, convenient and readily accessible to the traveling public.Given these conditions, it may be said that the Land Transportation System can not beprotected from terrorists and criminal elements as easily as the other modes of transportationsuch as the civil aviation and the maritime system.

Unlike airplanes and ships, land transportation vehicles make countless stops along corridorsaccessible from the ground, making it more vulnerable. Consequently, profiling and elaboratemeans of screening passengers and their baggage, and the delay they would cause would beenormous.

The road and the rail transportation systems have some peculiarities themselves, brought aboutby the marked differences in their systems of operations and the environments within which theyoperate.

The rail system enjoys a more controlled type of operations. The rail vehicles, as well as thesupport infrastructures, including the rail ways are operator-owned, and therefore, can bedesigned to suit their operating and security needs. In contrast, not all support infrastructures inroad transportation systems such as the roads and bridges, are owned by land transportationoperators. Moreover, not all of these operators have their own facilities and had to rely on thoseowned by other private parties or the government such as bus stops, terminals and stations.

d. What is the procedure in filing a complaint with this government agency / entity.The Office for Transportation Security on its own initiative or upon filing of a filing or receipt ofa memorandum report may conduct the necessary proceedings for the suspension, disciplinaryactions againstland transportation.

e. How does this government agency / entity resolve such a complaint.Upon consideration of the answers, counter-affidavits and evidence submitted that a resolutionor decision may be rendered thereon, the case shall be deemed submitted for judgement on themerits.
