LTFRB chief willing to meet Piston’s demand on 5-year franchise validity
Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Chairperson Teofilo Guadiz III is willing to grant Piston's demand for a five-year validity of franchises for jeepney operators.
This is provided that jeepney operators join the public utility vehicle modernization program (PUVMP).
Guadiz explained that operators can be considered consolidated by merely filing, even before the December 31 deadline.
He stated that granting the five-year franchise validity and discussing the consolidation process are two steps that could help move the talks forward and end the strike.
