Public Utility Jeepney Resumption Under LTFRB Guidelines

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has allowed public utility jeepney (PUJ) operators to resume their operations during the modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) in Bulacan, with a special permit subject to 50-percent operations daily.

Traditional jeepneys will be back on the road in Metro Manila starting July 3rd after the LTFRB released guidelines for their resumption of operations under GCQ. A total of 6,002 jeepneys are allowed to ply 49 routes with no additional permits necessary.

The Palace has reminded PUJ drivers and operators to observe health and safety protocols as around 6,000 PUJs resume operations in Metro Manila on July 3rd under GCQ. This includes wearing of face masks and gloves and a maximum 50% operating capacity.

LTFRB released guidelines allowing thousands of 'roadworthy' traditional jeepneys to resume operations under the general community quarantine (GCQ) in Metro Manila starting July 3rd, with an initial list of routes covering 6,002 units.
