MANILA, Philippines – The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) on Monday opened 20,000 slots for new transport network vehicle service (TNVS) applications.
According to LTFRB, the opening of new slots was made following a “low turn-out” of TNVS applications during the previous online accreditation for TNVS operators who were part of the “Masterlist.”
The agency said the 20,000 new slots is part of the 65,000 TNVS capacity set by the board, and not intended for those already part of the Masterlist that was already submitted to LTFRB.
“Binigyan ng hanggang December 15, 2018 ang mga nasa sinumiteng Masterlist ng mga Transport Network Company upang makapag apply ng kanilang Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC),” the LTFRB said.
“Ngunit kahit nakapag bigay na nang sapat na panahon para sa mga nasa masterlist, ay naging mababa ang bilang ng mga kumuha ng CPC kaya nagpasiya ang Board na muling buksan ang online registration,” it added.
Interested operators may file their applications online (https://ltfrb.ph.net/tnvs/) from December 17, 2018 to January 2, 2019, the LTFRB said.
“Paalala lamang sa mga nais magpa-accredit, siguraduhing kumpleto ang inyong requirements upang tuloy-tuloy ang pag processo ng inyong application,” it said.
LTFRB’s opening of 20,000 slots for new TNVS applications came days after the Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order against the operation of Angkas, a motorcycle ride-hailing app. /kga
