No PUVMP consolidation extension, LTFRB insists
The Philippine Star|August 06, 2024
The public utility vehicle modernization program's franchise consolidation deadline will not be extended despite a Senate resolution calling for the suspension of the PUVMP implementation, according to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).
BELLA CARIASO

"There will be no extension.

The President already ended it," LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadiz III reiterated yesterday.

The crackdown on colorum or illegal jeepneys is ongoing, Guadiz noted.

"The two-hectare land in Tarlac is almost occupied as we transport jeepneys that failed to join the consolidation (before the April 30 deadline)," he said.

"The PUVMP will continue. After the consolidation of jeepneys, we are working on route rationalization," he added.
