Routes and regulations: A commuter’s guide for jeepneys’ return on the road

Finally, traditional jeepneys are returning on the road this July 3, as announced by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).

According to the board’s guidelines, drivers won’t need special permits to resume operations either. However, only jeepneys listed by operators as registered roadworthy with the Land Transportation Office and have valid Personal Passenger Insurance Policy may ply the roads of Metro Manila once again.

“In lieu of the 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. The operator may secure said QR Code by downloading it from the LTFRB website at www.ltfrb.gov.ph,” the guidelines specified, as reported by PTV.

Of course, safety measures will be in place, including body temperature checks and wearing masks and gloves for drivers. Units may also operate at a maximum of 50 percent capacity only. Meanwhile, passengers will be required to fill out contact forms distributed by drivers for contact tracing purposes.

“No fare adjustment shall be applied unless approved by the Board,” said LTFRB as well, noting that drivers must follow a minimum fare of P9 for the first four kilometers and P1.50 per succeeding kilometer.

Currently, 6,002 jeepney units are set to return on the road through the 49 routes approved by LTFRB.
