To date, Guadiz also said the LTFRB had extended the effectivity of special permits already issued for select PUVs and granted 743 special permits to public utility buses to ascertain that there will be enough public transport service to serve passengers going to the provinces.“This year, after a long break due to the pandemic, we expect a huge influx of travelers going to the provinces either for leisure travel or to join their families for the long Holy Week break,” he said in a statement.
“That is why we are doing everything to make sure that passengers are provided the public transport service they deserve so that their travel experience after a long period of zero travel will be truly worth it.” “At the LTFRB, public service never stops, and we will see to it that travelers’ and their families’ journey this Holy Week will be hassle- and trouble-free, using a convenient, accessible, safe and secure, and affordable public transportation system,” he added.
