GCQ Commuters, These P2P Services Have Resumed Operations

Metro Manila is now officially under general community quarantine as of today, June 1. With that, more people reported back to work in industries and establishments that have been allowed to operate by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.

Public transport remains limited under general community quarantine (GCQ). Public utility buses and jeepneys are not allowed on the roads just yet—not until June 22, at least. All rail lines, meanwhile, started operating at reduced passenger capacity, with the MRT-3 only having four operational stations. Taxis and TNVS providers are also allowed to hit the road again while tricycle operations are dependent on the approval of local government units.

Point-to-point buses have been given the green light to resume ferrying passengers, too, with the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board providing a list of companies that have been given the clearance to operate, as well as the allowed routes:

As for other forms of allowed transport under GCQ, private cars are now allowed to have multiple occupants, provided that it is within the rules set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF), and all the people on board are allowed to be out and about in the first place. The implementation of the modified coding scheme—which allows a vehicle to be used even on its coding day, provided it has two or more occupants at all times—has been put on hold, and will not take effect until June 8 at the earliest.
