San Juan City resumes tricycle ops with new safety measures

Tricycle operations in San Juan City have resumed starting May 28, 2020, with new safety protocols in place.

Mayor Francis Zamora announced the resumption of tricycle services, emphasizing the implementation of measures to ensure the safety of both passengers and drivers from COVID-19.

A fixed fare of P15 per trip will be implemented for all tricycle rides.

Tricycle drivers are required to obtain a health clearance and travel pass from the local government, which will be worn as an ID and is free of charge.

Each tricycle unit must be equipped with a plastic cover for the protection of drivers and passengers, and only one passenger will be allowed per trip, with no riding at the back of the driver.

Tricycle Operators and Drivers Associations (TODAs) must establish social distancing protocols in terminals and assign Safety Protocol Officers to oversee compliance with guidelines.

Disinfection of tricycle units is mandatory, and the wearing of face masks is also required within the city.
