Instead of a special permit, a corresponding QR Code shall be issued to the operator prior to operation, which must be printed and displayed in the corresponding unit, according to the LTFRB. The operator may secure a QR code by downloading it from the LTFRB website, it added.
“The LTFRB emphasizes to the traditional PUJ operators that they must provide PUJs that are currently registered roadworthy with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and with valid Personal Passenger Insurance Policy,” the agency said.
It also noted that the existing fare of ₱9.00 for the first four kilometers and ₱1.50 for succeeding kilometers should be followed. No fare adjustment shall be applied unless approved by the Board, it said.
Both operators and drivers are also required to comply with a set of health protocols prior to dispatch and during operations. They include checking of body temperature, wearing masks and gloves at all times, operating at a maximum of 50% capacity, and distributing passenger contact forms.
Failure to comply with the conditions given by the LTFRB will result in penalties, which may range from imposition of fines to cancellation or suspension of the Certificate of Public Convenience or Provisional Authority.
