January 26, 2018

The Land Transportation  Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will start accepting franchise applications for transport network vehicles services (TNVS) on Feb. 5, its chairman Martin Delgra said Friday.

The LTFRB issued a memorandum circular limiting TNVS units at 45,000 in Manila. 500 in Metro Cebu and 200 in Pampanga.

There are about 14,789 TNVS units registered at the LTFRB. Of the number, 2,859 have franchises or certificates of public convenience.

Cases of about 10,919 units are pending before the LTFRB, said Delgra, These include cases dismissed but with motions for reconsideration.

Around 812 units have provisional authorities and 199 with pending applications and compliance orders.

It means around 30,211 slots in Metro Manila are available based on the LTFRB records. But Delgra said "there is no accurate count.”  DMS
