Instead, they will use a QR code, which the LTFRB will issue to vehicles that will be allowed on the streets.
“Ang mga ito ay maaaring i-download mula sa website ng ahensya (ltfrb.gov.ph) at kailangan i-print at idikit sa harap ng windshield ng yunit nang hindi nakasasagabal sa paningin ng drayber,” the LTFRB said.
The agency also reminded drivers, operators and passengers to follow social distancing protocols.
The no face mask and face shield-no ride policy shall also be strictly implemented.
