Law Summary

Mandatory Attachment of a Table of Contents With Fleet Inventory

  • Bus operators must attach a table of contents to their fleet inventory.
  • This table of contents must list every authorized line with the following details:
    • Corresponding case number
    • Number of units authorized and registered per line
    • Date of authorization of the line or the corresponding certificate of public convenience
  • The contents of this table must be consistent and tally with the units listed in the fleet inventory for which the fees are being paid.

Payment Procedures and Compliance

  • No payment of annual supervision and regulation fees will be accepted unless accompanied by the documents required by both Memorandum Circular No. 88-017 and this Memorandum Circular No. 90-017.
  • This ensures strict compliance with the supervisory requirements and proper regulation of bus operations.

Authority and Enforcement

  • The memorandum circular was officially adopted on July 30, 1990.

  • It ensures that operators maintain accurate and verifiable records of their fleet and authorized routes.
  • The requirement to submit validated documents promotes transparency and accountability in the regulation of bus operations.
  • By linking payment acceptance to documentary compliance, the LTFRB exercises effective control over franchise and operational authorizations.
