One time a security patrol was on the train and did nothing!” Ashli’s review continues by describing additional harassment, robbery, employee unprofessionalism and “a major communication disconnect” separating RT and customers (Yelp). Kathleen and Ashli are not the only passengers who feel unsafe, Yelp contains numerous reviews with similar expressions of lack of active security, unchecked abuse by outlandish passengers, fear of robbery and generally unsatisfied customers are common themes. These reports are not without justification; robbery is not uncommon within the system.

Historical records show that the Philippine Customs Service started many centuries back long before the Philippines was discovered by the eastern and western expeditionaries.
