The Department of Transportation (DOTr) assured that it is prepared to implement the recommendation of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) to increase public transportation capacity to 75%.
According to the DOTr, it will implement the proposal once the NEDA and the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) have finalized the plans and policies.
The department also ensured that the minimum health protocols will still be implemented to prevent further spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The NEDA has initially recommended to increase the capacity of public transportation to 75% for the economy to recover from the impact of the global health crisis. -PTV News
