Fewer bus routes under GCQ, LTFRB chair reminds NCR commuters amid confusion
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has reduced bus routes from 96 to 31 as part of a rationalization effort that also includes the designation of new bus stops.
LTFRB chairman Martin Delgra III stated that the rationalization aims to make it easier for passengers to find rides by increasing 'turnaround trips'.
Bus operators are prohibited from loading and unloading passengers in areas not designated as bus stops.
This move is part of the resumption of public transportation services under the general community quarantine in Metro Manila, alongside health protocols such as social distancing and mask-wearing.
Delgra emphasized that public health is the primary consideration in these transport adjustments.
