By examining administrative completeness, vehicle roadworthiness, and operational readiness, the Ministry aims to identify any systemic failures that could have contributed to the incident. The potential for administrative sanctions, ranging from warnings to license revocation, signals a firm stance against non-compliance and a dedication to public safety.

The Ministry's proactive stance, including prior meetings with Green SM management, reflects a commitment to transparency and rigorous oversight within the public transportation sector.
