ADDENDUM TO MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 2000-013 FOR ROUTES/LINES SOUTH OF METRO MANILA TO BE OPENED FOR CPC APPLICATION
CPC applications on provincial bus routes/lines entering Metro Manila
and the filing by prospective applicants of their applications on the
routes/lines to be posted in conspicuous places in the LTFRB premises
has been coordinated with the Metro Manila Development Authority and the
DOTC, to insure that the entry of the buses to be franchised will not
contribute to the traffic problem in the metropolis while addressing the
need for additional buses on the routes/lines to be opened for
application.
For routes/lines south of Metro Manila, the following points within
the metropolis are to be the applicants’ terminals to be indicated in
their verified (under oath) applications:
1. for routes/lines from Cavite thru the Coastal Road, MMDA-indicated terminal in Baclaran (Coastal Mall);
2. for routes from points in the Southern Tagalog region,
Bicol, Eastern Visayas and Davao City thru the South Superhighway,
MMDA-indicated terminal in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
The acceptance of applications on routes/lines north of Metro Manila
to Balintawak is hereby deferred pending availability for use by the
applicant’s buses to be franchised on said routes/lines of the
MMDA-indicated terminal in Balintawak which the MMDA will fast-track for
the operator’s use.
Without a common terminal in the Balintawak area for the more than
three hundred (300) buses to be franchised north of Metro Manila,
traffic in the Balintawak area, particularly along EDSA will be
adversely affected, with the buses proceeding to Monumento, Cubao
(Quezon City), Baclaran (Parañaque) and Pasay City including downtown
Manila.
This Memorandum Circular compliments Memorandum Circular No. 2000-013 and is effective immediately.
