Local Public Transport Route Planning & Management Training Course | [TITLE OF LECTURE]
PUV Modernization
• A transformational large-scale initiative and flagship
project of President Duterte supported by the proposed
Comprehensive Tax Reform Program of the Department
of Finance
• It envisions a restructured, modern, well-managed, and

environmentally sustainable transport sector where
drivers and operators have stable, sufficient, and
dignified livelihoods while commuters get to their
destinations quickly, safely, and comfortably

Components

Aim of Module 2
• Highlight some basic policies, principles, and guidelines
embedded in the DOTr Department Order 2017-011 or
the “Omnibus Guidelines on the Planning and
Identification of Public Road Transportation Services and
Franchise Issuance”
• Otherwise known Omnibus Franchising Guidelines

(OFG) issued on June 19, 2017
• Foundation for the successful creation and

implementation of Land Public Transport Route Plans
(LPTRPs)
4
Underlying Policy : Linking Land Use with
Transport
• Land use and

transport are
connected
• Changes in land use

has transport
implications

Basic Policies (OFG)
• Reduce reliance on private vehicles and promote high
quality preferably mass public transport systems to
ensure efficient movement of people and goods
• LPTRP : Match infrastructure facilities and carrier

services to serve the demand for movement of people and
goods in an efficient manner
7
Road Public Transport should be:
• Reliable – predictable in terms of travel time, waiting
time, and schedule
• Safe – PT vehicles and services should comply with

national standards and international safety conventions.
Use of dashcam and CCTV encouraged
• Accessible – Public transport must be available in every

community, with accessibility for all segments of society
including senior citizens and PWDs
8
Road Public Transport should be:
• Environmentally sound – PT vehicles with combustion
engines should be EURO IV compliant. Other preferred
vehicles use electric drives and/or run on alternative
fuels, e.g. electric or solar
• Comfortable – With comfortable seats and ideally, no

more than 5 persons/sqm standees. Free WiFi encouraged
9
Hierarchy Transportation Modes
• In general, modes of public transportation shall follow
the hierarchy of roads. Higher capacity modes shall have
priority in terms of CPC allocation and transit right of
way over lower capacity modes
• Taxis, TNVS, tourist transport services, and shuttle

services are deemed door-to-door services and do not
have fixed routes hence are excluded
• Tricycles should only be confined along city/municipal

roads not national roads
10
Functional Hierarchy of Roads
• Expressways – Limited access roads with toll. Public
Transport vehicles are not allowed to drop off or pick up
passengers.
• Arterials – Roads that provide the highest level of service
for long uninterrupted distances. Buses are the
appropriate public transportation mode.
• Collectors – Medium speed and medium-flow roads.
Jeepneys, UVs, Filcabs are appropriate
• Local Roads – Slow speed/low-flow roads. Example are
subdivision roads and barangay roads. Tricycles are
appropriate

Main Criteria for PT Route Rationalization
• Passenger demand patterns

• Road functional hierarchy
• Actual road configurations (existing/planned)
• Road capacities
• Transport mode characteristics

• Mini Buses
– Operates along major arterial roads,
highways, expressways, and identified
collector roads
– Service: Regular, aircon, loop, shuttle,
and/or express
– Specs: Mini coach with emergency exit,
tempered glass, seven (7) to nine (9)
meters, single deck with no wooden
components, low entry for quick boarding
with provision of wheelchair.
garage facilities.
21
• PUJs and UV Express
– Appropriate as feeder services operating
in arterial, collector, and local roads,
linking neighborhoods and communities
to mass transit lines and bus routes. Links
commercial, industrial recreational or
residential areas.
– Specs: Length below seven (7) meters.
Door locations should allow boarding and
alighting only from the curbside (not from
the rear)
garage facilities.
22
• Filcab Service
– Fixed routes (regular, limited stop and/or
express) and intra-zonal (i.e., zones as
defined in the LGU Zoning Ordinance)
within a specified area as authorized.
Operation shall be prohibited on arterial
roads, highways, and expressways.
– Specs: Mini-jitney/multicab, seating
capacity of seven (7) to eleven (11)
passengers excluding driver. Door locations
should allow boarding and alighting only
from the curbside (not from the rear)
– With GPS, free wifi, CCTVs and dashboard
cam, speed limiter. DENR standard-
compliant. Must have lay-over/garage
facilities.
23
• Taxis
– Door-to-door service (no fixed route)

– Fare: Metered or coupon as approved by
LTFRB
– Specs: Van, Sedan, Utility Vehicle, Sports
Utility Vehicle or other similar vehicles
facilities.
24
• Transport Network Vehicle Service

27
Other policies…
• Other policies to be discussed in detail in other

succeeding modules
– Route connectivity
– New developmental routes
– Maximum route distance policy
– Mode mixing
– Consolidation : Priority on cooperatives, associations with
bigger fleets
