Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 4) — More vehicles-for-hire will be plying the streets soon as the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) opens over 4,000 slots for Transport Network Vehicle Services (TNVS) applications this month.
“Ito ay magsisimula sa January 9 — ang start ng application. At ito po ay in-open ng 4,433 slots or units para sa TNVS,” LTFRB Technical Division Head Joel Bolano said on Wednesday.
[Translation: Application will start on Jan. 9, and there are 4,433 slots for TNVS.]
“Ang gagawin ng mga interesadong operator or driver ay magpa-accredit or register sa pipiliin nilang TNC (transport network company). Kailangan ma-accredit sila para ma-assist sila ng pag-file ng application sa LTFRB,” he added.
[Translation: Interested operators or drivers should be accredited or registered with their chosen TNC. They have to be accredited, so they can be assisted in filing the application with the LTFRB.]
Bolano explained this would ensure that all documents needed would be correct. It would also do away with unauthorized methods to facilitate applications.
“‘Yung TNC ang maga-assist sa kanila para sila ang magfa-file ng application sa LTFRB para makasiguro na ang lahat ng papeles at dokumentong required ng LTFRB ay tama at naaayon sa nilabas na circular ng LTFRB,” he said.
[Translation: The TNC will assist them so they can file the application with the LTFRB and make sure all documents needed are in line with the LTFRB circular.]
