MANILA – In anticipation of the surge of travelers during the observance of ‘Undas,’ or All Saints’ Day, operators and drivers of public utility vehicles (PUVs) can now obtain a special permit to travel special routes.
According to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), interested PUV operators may visit any LTFRB office and bring the OR/CR of their PUV, a copy of their personal passenger insurance policy, and franchise verification.
“Hinihikayat ang mga PUV operators na mag-apply nang maaga upang makuha agad ang kanilang Special Permit at makapaghanda nang maaga para sa kanilang biyahe sa Undas (PUV operators are encouraged to apply early to get their special permit and be ready for their travel during Undas),” the LTFRB said.
Applicants may proceed to Window 6 or the Technical Division for payment assessment, then to Door B for payment, and to Window 8 to submit four copies of their application for a special permit with other documentary requirements.
“Pagkatapos ng ilang araw o bago ang ika-28 ng Oktubre, bumalik sa tanggapan ng LTFRB at dumiretso sa Information Systems Management Division (ISMD) upang kunin ang Special Permit (After a few days or before Oct. 28, head back to the LTFRB office and go straight to the ISMD to receive your special permit),” it said.
It urged PUV drivers and operators to strictly adhere to the rules and policies or face possible fines and penalties outlined in their Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC), special permit, and Joint Administrative Order No. 2014-01.
