Muntinlupa's unvaxxed line up for jabs due to ‘no vax, no ride’ policy
Two jeepney drivers were apprehended in Muntinlupa on January 17, 2022, for violating the Department of Transportation's (DOTr) 'no vaccination, no ride' policy.
The policy, implemented by the Muntinlupa City Health Office (CHO), Land Transportation Office (LTO), and Muntinlupa Traffic Management Bureau (MTMB), limits access to public transportation to fully vaccinated individuals.
This directive aims to limit access to public transportation for fully vaccinated individuals traveling to, from, and within the National Capital Region (NCR) under Alert Level 3 or higher.
The 'no vaccination, no ride' policy extends to individuals residing outside the NCR but working within the region.
As a result of the policy, there has been an increase in walk-ins at vaccination sites in Muntinlupa for individuals seeking their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Operators of public transportation are required to check vaccination cards, certificates, or other valid proof of vaccination along with a government-issued ID before allowing passengers to board or issue tickets.
