[아시아뉴스통신=페이 기자] Several transport cooperatives in Northern Mindanao that have switched to modern public utility vehicles (PUVs) are just waiting for the Land Bank of the Philippines to release their loans before they can start operation.
Once their loan applications are approved and released by the state-run Land Bank of the Philippines, the transport cooperatives can immediately place their orders with PUV manufacturers, said Aminoden Guro, LTFRB-10 director, on Tuesday.
Guro sees more modernized PUVs owned and operated by transport cooperatives and corporations will ply the various routes in the region before the year ends.
The PUVs include public utility jeepneys, taxis, and vans, he said, adding the operation of the modern PUVs is in line with the national government’s PUV modernization program.
