Metro Manila mayors have recommended placing the region under general community quarantine (GCQ) starting June 1.

The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) has formally recommended to President Duterte to place Metro Manila under GCQ on June 1.

Under GCQ, passenger buses will be allowed to operate but at 50% capacity, with provisions for minimum health standards and a log-in system for contact tracing.

Jeepneys may be allowed to operate if they reconfigure their seats and gain approval from the Department of Transportation (DOTr), addressing the challenge of physical distancing.

Private company shuttles and point-to-point (P2P) vehicles will be allowed to operate.

Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) units, taxis, and tricycles will also be permitted to resume operations under specific conditions.
