The LTFRB said it implemented the gradual opening of public transportation to ensure that health requirements will be enforced as the threat of coronavirus pandemic continues.
The agency, likewise, reminded operators and drivers of public utility buses to follow strict health protocols to suppress community transmission of the coronavirus disease.
This includes wearing face masks, using gloves, regular disinfection of vehicles per trip, placing transparent materials for shields inside the bus unit and minimum passenger seating capacity.
