The number coding scheme has been suspended since March 13, 2020 after President Rodrigo Duterte placed Metro Manila under a enhanced community quarantine status to stop the spread of the coronavirus disease.
In areas under GCQ, public transportation systems will be allowed to operate with limited passenger capacity and with stringent health protocols imposed.
