OPERATORS and drivers who fail to comply with the consolidation policy under the government’s PUV Modernization Program still have a week or two before their franchises finally get revoked by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board .In a television interview, DOTr Undersecretary Ferdinand Ortega assured “due process” to those who will not be able to comply with the policy.The deadline was set Tuesday, April 30, 2024.“Bibigyan pa 'yan ng show cause, sasagot pa sila,” he said.
He urged unconsolidated drivers and operators to stop operating due to lack of proper documentation, saying persisting may result in fines and the impounding of their vehicles.As of March 2024, the LTFRB said that 80 percent of the PUVs in the country have already complied with the consolidation policy.The PUVMP was launched by the former administration to replace the traditional jeepneys with modern units that have at least a Euro 4-compliant engine or an electric engine to lessen pollution.
