The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has granted special permits to 1,021 public utility vehicles (PUVs) to ensure their availability and allow for uninterrupted travel for Filipinos during the observance of the upcoming Holy Week.
The LTFRB said the special permits for select PUVs are valid until April 14.
“The LTFRB issues special permits during special occasions, including Holy Week, to maximize the operations of PUVs as the influx of passengers travelling to their home provinces is expected to increase before, during, and after the Holy Week,” LTFRB Chairperson Teofilo Guadiz III said.
“This is also to ensure safe and secured travel for our Filipino commuters,” Guadiz added.
