00:00PUV special permit this holiday season and the addition of 5,000 slots for transport network vehicle services.
00:09We will find out together with Atty. Tiofilo Guadiz III, the chairperson of Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB.
00:19Atty. Guadiz, good afternoon.
00:23Good afternoon to you and to all the listeners and viewers of our station. Good afternoon.
00:32Attorney, when did the application for the special permit of PUVs for this holiday season open?
00:40It started on Monday. We are giving it now, which will take effect on December 20 up to January 5.
00:54Originally, it was supposed to be on December 15, but the board said it's too early.
01:01So we postponed it, but the length of time was extended until January 5.
01:09They can now get a special permit for buses that want to travel to the province.
01:18How is your preparation for the holiday Christmas rush this year?
01:23And what security and safety measures are you preparing, especially for the terminals across the country?
01:31I have an order to all my people in LTFRB.
01:36Number one, they are in the bus station and make sure that before the bus leaves,
01:44their route to their destination is secured.
01:49For example, if you are applying to Manila, to Ilocos Norte,
01:56and you will go to Bico, you should not copy that.
02:02Number two, we are also monitoring the arrangement of the bus.
02:07It should be roadworthy. That's why before the bus leaves, we are inspecting it.
02:14Finally, number three, we have people in our terminals.
02:20If you lack special buses, there are on-the-spot people who will give you a special permit.
02:28In other talks, despite the approval of LTFRB for the additional 5,000 slots of TNVS,
02:37it is still difficult to find or book taxi or TNVS commuters now.
02:45What are the benefits of LTFRB to address this?
02:50Ma'am, when we did our research, even if we approved 5,000,
02:58as we saw, 5,000 people are not traveling at the same time.
03:05Half of them are part-timers.
03:10This is just ride-sharing, those who are going to the office or going home, who want to earn a little.
03:17So this is not totally an answer to the transport problem.
03:23That's why what we are doing is, we are persuading those who have TNVS,
03:29that they should extend their trip.
03:33Okay.
03:34We also know that the price of ride-hailing services here in Metro Manila is a bit expensive.
03:43Are there any updates on LTFRB regarding the so-called surge fees?
03:50May I repeat the question? I didn't hear it.
03:54Is there an update on LTFRB regarding the surge fees that are expected now because of the high demand?
04:09We cannot do anything about the 5,000.
04:13This is the maximum that we can give for now.
04:17Hopefully, this will be satisfied.
04:21Although, on the other hand, we are talking to the regular taxis that are allowed to travel.
04:31Same thing with motorcycle taxis.
04:34We're asking them to take regular route.
04:38Based on our studies, most motorcycle taxis are part-time drivers.
04:46They only go out before 8 o'clock and 5 o'clock and on Saturdays and Sundays only.
04:54Okay.
04:55Regarding the surge fees, are we doing anything to lower the so-called surge fees or increase the price,
05:06especially for ride-hailing services?
05:09That's a sad point ma'am.
05:14Okay.
05:15Please go back.
05:16I can't hear you.
05:18Okay.
05:19I'm sorry.
05:20I'm losing connection.
05:22Thank you very much.
05:24At your time, Atty. Tiofilo Guades III, the chairperson of LTFRB.
