Government has approved the P1-billion fuel subsidy amid rising prices of fuel in recent weeks. It will be disbursed under the LTFRB’s Pantawid Pasada Program.
“In parallel with that, naghahanda na ang LTFRB sa mga pangalan o listahan ng ating mga operator at 'yun pong mga beneficiaries natin ganun din po ang guidelines kung paano ito ibibigay sa ating mga operator at driver,” Bolano said.

“Yung mga barrier natin sa mga pasahero, 'yung in between po, pwede na pong tanggalin subalit ganun pa rin may social distancing. Meron po tayong inilabas na circular. Kaakibat ng circular ay 'yung illustration sa loob ng public transport para hindi po malito ang ating mga pasahero at mga driver. Ganun na din po sa enforcement para madali nating maipatutupad yung 70 percent capacity,” he said.
