LTFRB: UV Express vehicles limited to P2P

MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is restricting the services of UV Express units to a strictly point-to-point transport basis.

Under Memorandum Circular 2019-025, the LTFRB cancelled the two-kilometer radius from UV Express units’ end points in which they are allowed to pick up and drop off passengers.

The circular, signed by all three LTFRB members on May 15, took effect the next day.

With the new memorandum, UV Express units can only load and unload commuters at the end points or terminals specified under their franchise. 

The Board said that it observed that UV Express drivers do not use the designated terminals and load and unload passengers between their end points.
