Honestly, this is the first time we’ve heard of this, too. We knew public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers were mandated to look decent, but we didn’t know they had been assigned uniform colors, too.
“On Thursday, Feb 20, the Association of Taxi Operators in Metro Manila also said they were unaware of an order from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) that requires drivers to wear color-coded uniforms,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
“Hindi lahat ng operator nagpupunta sa LTFRB para kumuha ng memorandum circular (Not all taxi operators go to the LTFRB’s office to get memorandum circulars),” explained Leonora Naval, president of the Association of Taxi Operators in Metro Manila, told dzMM.
In any case, Based on a memorandum circular issued by the LTFRB, drivers are required to wear proper uniforms: light blue for jeepney drivers, white for bus drivers, red for taxi drivers, green for UV Express drivers; and yellow for school service bus drivers.
