Operational Restrictions Based on Vehicle Use

When used as a public utility jeepney (PUJ), the vehicle's operation is strictly limited to the fixed route explicitly stated in the CPC.
When used as a truck for hire, operation is permitted only between the points of origin and destination specified in the CPC.

Modification of Certificates of Public Convenience

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will amend CPCs covering dual authorities to clearly delineate operational boundaries.
This measure aims to avoid confusion and ensure strict adherence to authorized routes and transport modes.

Computation of Supervision Fees for Dual Service Vehicles

Supervision fees for PUJs with dual service are to be calculated based on the vehicle's gross tonnage.
The computation method follows the same principles used for cargo service vehicles, reflecting the vehicle's cargo-carrying function when operating as truck for hire.

Effectivity and Repealing Clause

This memorandum circular supersedes any existing memoranda or orders that are inconsistent with its provisions.
It takes effect immediately upon issuance on August 1, 1990.

Issuance and Authority

The memorandum circular was adopted and signed by the LTFRB Chairman and Board Members at the time, indicating its authoritative and regulatory nature for public utility vehicle operations.
