"The closure of the plaintiffs' terminals has far-reaching effects. It would affect not only their respective business, but their respective contracts with others as well…. The shortened routes would likewise affect the salary of the plaintiff's employees," Presiding Judge Caridad Walse Lutero said in the decision, a copy of which was obtained by Rappler .
"There is no reason to consider these issuances to have priority over the plaintiffs' rights as well as those who would suffer from their implementation," Lutero said. The provincial bus operators argued, among others, that the affected buses"actually generate less traffic in Metro Manila."
