CEBU CITY, Philippines — Despite the shift to general community quarantine (GCQ) in Cebu province, the reopening of public transport operations continues to revolve around restrictions and protocols
“They shall require passengers to present their company identification cards and other relevant documents to prove that they are essential workers. Persons who are not permitted to travel under the GCQ should not be issued a ticket and allowed to board,” Garcia ordered.
Except for medical emergencies, immunocompromised persons and unemployed individuals below 21 years old areBefore boarding the buses, passengers are also required to undergo checking of temperature and other visible symptoms like cough and colds. A person whose body temperature hits 38 degrees Celsius and above or has cough and colds will not be allowed to travel.As public transport resumes on Wednesday, a restaurant along the Talisay City’s side of the Cebu South Coastal Road serves as the temporary Cebu South Bus Terminal as the buses cannot yet proceed to the CSBT in N. Bacalso Avenue since Cebu City is still under Enhanced Community Quarantine. Taxis and Transport Network Vehicle Services operating within Cebu province are also required to secure the permit. Both taxis and TNVS are only allowed to carry two passengers at a time, who shall be seated at the rear of the vehicle to observe physical distancing. TNVS drivers cannot also accept multiple bookings or shared rides during the GCQ. The Capitol has already warned that the PPUPs of the vehicles may be revoked if they would be found noncompliant with the rules set for their operations. Component Local government units of Cebu province, on the other hand, may allow the operations of tricycles-for-hire and trisikads within their territorial jurisdictions. However, these tricycles and trisikads will not be allowed to ply the national highways and may only carry one passenger at a time to comply with the strict physical distancing measures. /bmjoThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
