MANILA: Following the issuance of Department Order No. 2019-013 by the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) started allowing hatchbacks and sub-compacts cars for Transportation Network Vehicle Services (TNVS). The Department of Transportation (DOTr) issued the order in July, earlier this year.

More good news coming stated that the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will continue to allow the hatchbacks and sub-compacts to operate in Transportation Network Vehicle Services (TNVS). The agency has approved another 10,000 new TNVS applications and ordered the Technical Division to accept more TNVS applications.

"The LTFRB would like to assure the public on the implementation of Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 2019-042 Amending MC 2018-005 by Virtue of Department Order (DO) 2019-013 (Re: An Order Amending DO 2017-011 Allowing Hatchbacks and Sub-Compacts Units to Operate as Transportation Network Vehicle Services)", cited the agency.

Courtesy of the new law, not only the customers will now have more options to choose from but also the owners of hatchbacks and sub-compact cars will be able to benefit from Transportation Network Vehicle Services (TNVS).
