|January 20, 2024
Expect longer commuting times as jeepney units in over 300 routes in Metro Manila will be considered illegal and colorum starting Feb. 1.
Data from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) showed that a total of 313 routes within the National Capital Region (NCR) do not have any consolidated transport service entity.
LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadiz earlier said unconsolidated jeepneys will be apprehended by law enforcers as they are considered to be engaging in colorum operations.
