The announcement comes as transport operators nationwide grapple with increasing fuel prices, which have placed pressure on operating expenses for passenger services.

Despite the changes, Victory Liner assured commuters that it remains committed to providing dependable travel across its routes, emphasizing that the measures are temporary and aimed at ensuring long-term stability.
