Caloocan issues MECQ fare matrix for tricycles
Caloocan City has permitted the resumption of tricycle operations under the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) with new safety rules.
Drivers must enforce a 'no contact policy' using plastic shields and cash boxes, keep alcohol in vehicles and terminals, and wear face masks and gloves.
Tricycles are allowed to operate from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. and follow a number-coding scheme based on their body number.
Each tricycle can only carry one passenger who must possess a quarantine pass.
A temporary fare matrix allows a flat rate of P15 for distances up to four kilometers, with an additional P2 per succeeding kilometer, not exceeding P35.
Violators of the ordinance face penalties including impounding of their tricycles and fines ranging from P3,000 to P5,000.
These measures are part of the city's efforts against the spread of COVID-19.
