BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya -- The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has allowed local transportation in the province through e-jeeps plying the national highway under a point-to-point scheme.

Board Member Flodemonte Gerdan, chairman of the provincial board's committee on transportation said 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 their daily trip schedules: first trip rip, 6:30 to 7:30 a.m.; 2^nd, 8 to 8:30 a.m.; 3^rd, 9:30 to 10 a.m. and 4^th,  4:30 to 5 p.m.

They advised employees and workers in Solano town to proceed to temporary terminal at the back of KFC and in front of the Solano East Central School.

Bambang passengers were advised to proceed to Pick and Save compound in Barangay Homestead for their travel.

The opening of local transport under the P2P scheme was allowed with the province's status as modified general community quarantine (MGCQ). -- MDCT/BME /PIA Nueva Vizcaya
