BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya (August 4)—The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has allowed the operations of local transportation in the province through the e-jeeps plying the national highway under a Point-to-Point (P2P) scheme.
Board Member Flodemonte Gerdan, chairman of the Provincial Board’s Committee on Transportation said the operation of the e-jeeps owned by the First Nueva Vizcaya Travellers Transport Cooperative (FNVTTC) is now in operation after it was recently permitted by the LTFRB regional office with the province’s Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) status.
He said the e-jeeps are now ferrying passengers through the Solano-Bambang, Solano-Quezon and Solano-Bayombong routes.
“These e-jeeps are only stopping in designated terminals to enable passengers to exit and board them,” Gerdan said.
He also encouraged local government units to put up their transport terminals to enable e-jeeps to cater to their passengers.
FNVTTC Facebook Account showed that their daily trip schedules are as follows: 1st Trip 6:30 A.M. – 7:30 A.M.; 2nd Trip 8:00 A.M. – 8:30 A.M.; 3rd Trip 9:30 A.M. – 10:00 A.M. and 4th Trip 4:30 P.M. – 5:00 P.M..
They also advised the employees and workers in Solano town to proceed to the temporary terminal at the back of KFC and in front of the Solano East Central School.
Bambang passengers are advised to proceed to the Pick and Save Compound in Barangay Homestead for their travel.
The opening of the local transport under the P2P scheme was allowed with the province’s status as Modified General Community Quarantine.’
