12 Feb LTFRB Finally Allows Pets To Ride In Public Vehicles With Owners

Mga higala! The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is now allowing PETS to travel with their owners in public utility vehicles (PUVs)!

This was in LTFRB’s Memorandum Circular 2020-003 issued on January 27, 2020, effective starting last February 10.

Below are  the conditions, according to a report from GMA News:

1. If pet animals are to be loaded on mass transport, without having to compromise the safety, health issues, and convenience of other passengers, said pet animals must be put in a cage or animal carrier free from the foul odor.
2. Passenger-owner must ensure that pets wear animal diapers to maintain cleanliness and sanitation at all times during the journey.
3. Dog sizes must be the range of small to medium, as large and giant dogs will not be allowed.
4. Pets placed inside carriers or cages must be beside the passenger-owner and must pay the corresponding fare the same as that of the paying passenger owner per seat occupied.
