Purpose and policy basis
- The circular provides an exemption because the back of taxi cab units has limited space that is not sufficient to accommodate the name of the operator, their tradename, or business name.
- The circular further provides an exemption for jeepney operators because the back of jeepneys are open, leaving no space to paint them.
- The circular resolves compliance difficulties under the painting requirement previously imposed.
