[ LTFRB MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 2000-016, July 25, 2000 ]

AMENDMENT TO MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 014-00 AND MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 014-A-00



To make compliance with Memorandum Circular No. 2000-014 and Memorandum Circular No. 2000-014-A less cumbersome and taking into consideration the suggestions from various transport group, Memorandum Circular Nos. 2000-014 and 2000-014-A are hereby  amended  to read as follows:

Operators of public utility vehicles are required to place on both sides of their units, the following markings:

1.      LTFRB Case No. (except PUBs in which case the LTFRB Case No. may be painted in that place where their capacity markings are currently painted);

2.      Name of  Operator (including Trade Name if any);

3.      Type of Service (required for AUVs; optional for the rest);

4.      Route/Area of Operation (only for PUJs, Filcabs and other AUV services with fixed routes);

5.      License Plate No.

The size requirement for markings is no longer required, it is enough that the markings are readable for identification.

Exempted from the implementation of this Memorandum Circular are operators of Rent-A-Car Service on the condition that their clientele drive the vehicles  themselves.

Any operator found to have violated this Memorandum Circular shall pay to the Board the fine of FIVE THOUSAND (P5,000.00) PESOS per unit. Habitual violation thereof, shall mean suspension of the operator ™s Certificate of Public Convenience after due process by the Board. To give ample time for the operators to comply with this Memorandum Circular, payment of penalty shall take effect on September 28, 2000.

This Memorandum Circular repeals all existing circulars inconsistent thereto.

Adopted: 25 July 2000
