The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board said it would issue special permits to allow authorized public utility vehicles to ply in routes without consolidated jeepneys, according to a "24 Oras" report by Oscar Oida."’Pag talagang walang dumadaan, we issue what we call special permits... And normally we get the jeeps from the neighboring routes kung saan katabi nung walang nag-consolidate," said LTFRB chairperson Teofilo Guadiz.
LTFRB said that 81% or more than 160,000 jeepneys have consolidated their franchises. It said the number is enough to serve commuters in the country.Meanwhile, the agency said it has started issuing show-cause orders to those who did not consolidate to explain their failure to comply with the government's deadline. Affected drivers and operators will be given five days to respond. Authorities might also start flagging down "colorum" vehicles by the third or fourth week of May.
