Based on a memo released by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board on Nov. 2, public utility buses, jeepneys, UV Express in Metro Manila and nearby provinces or in Laguna, Rizal, Cavite and Bulacan "may operate under the approved passenger capacity as a result of the continuous decline in COVID-19 infections" and aggressive vaccine rollout.
“Pursuant to the recommendation of the DOTr, the Inter-Agency Task Force issued Resolution No. 146, series of 2021, dated 28 October 2021, granting the increase in passenger capacity starting at seventy percent ,” the memo said.Plastic barriers inside public utility jeepneys are no longer required nationwide as long as physical distancing is observed, the agency clarified.
"Increasing passenger capacity will mean a higher revenue for the public transport sector lalo’t mas marami ng tao ang pinapayagang lumabas. Malaking tulong ito sa ating mga kababayang pasahero at mga tsuper,” Delgra said.
