Frasco said the LTFRB explained to her that buses are the “preferred” mode of transportation and that jeepneys belong to the lower hierarchy of priority in the issuance of the special permits, which are required for public utility vehicles to return to the streets.“A simple reading of the LTFRB Memorandum would reveal that PUVs/PUJs are NOT prohibited. In fact, the Memorandum even lays down the requirements for [the] passenger capacity of PUJs.
“Because of the severe lack of alternative modes of public transportation under the design of LTFRB, workers wait along the National Highway a long time, mostly in vain, for a ride. As a consequence, many of them either arrive to work late or are absent,” Frasco said on her post. In a virtual press conference earlier, LTFRB-7 Eduardo Montealto Jr. said their agency has already issued special permits for 775 public utility buses regionwide, of which majority or 380 units ar deployed in Cebu.
