The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has extended the deadline for traditional jeepney drivers and operators to form a cooperative or corporation amid the planned weeklong transport strike due to the memorandum circular.
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board has extended the deadline for traditional jeepney drivers and operators to consolidate into a cooperative or corporation amid the planned weeklong transport strike that stemmed from the memorandum circular released by the agency.
“We would like to inform the public that in compliance with the advice of our Secretary Jaime Bautista and in response to the statement of President ‘Bongbong’ Marcos, Jr., we are extending the consolidation of the modern jeepneys from June 30 to the end of December 2023,” said Guadiz in a press briefing.
This raised a howl among the transport groups as they argued that the period is too short for them to comply with all the requirements. This also spells out joblessness and denial of source of income to a number of drivers and operators of traditional jeepneys.
