Good news, fur parents! You can now bring your pets with you while commuting because the Land Transportation Franchising & Regulatory Board (LTFRB) now <\/span>allows pets to be transported onboard public utility vehicles<\/b> (PUVs) as per the newly amended memorandum.<\/span><\/p>\n

LTFRB\u2019s Memorandum Circular No. 2020-003 titled \u201cSupplemental Guidelines Allowing Pet Animals inside PUVs under MC 2019-019\u201d stated that pet animals such as cats and dogs are now allowed \u201cto be loaded\/transported on public utility vehicles\u201d<\/span>\u00a0effective <\/span>February 10<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

These PUVs includes\u00a0buses, jeeps, UV Express Service, and P2P buses.<\/b><\/p>\n

The said amendment is brought by the negative reactions from several animal advocates on MC 2019-019, which first stated that pets should be put in designated animal compartments of PUVs. The petition to revise and amend the memo was passed in December.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In the newly amended memorandum, LTFRB laid out new guidelines for passengers aside from the conditions already stipulated in MC 2019-019:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pet animals <\/span>must be put in a cage or animal carrier<\/b> free from foul odor.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Passenger-owner must see to it that <\/span>pets must wear an animal diaper<\/b> to maintain cleanliness and sanitation during the journey.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Small to medium-sized dogs are allowed<\/b> in PUVS. Those large and giant dogs, on the other hand, shall not be allowed. You may see the list of dogs with its corresponding size at the annex of the <\/span>memorandum\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Pets inside the carrier or cage <\/span>must be beside the passenger-owner and must pay the corresponding fare<\/b> the same as that of the paying passenger per seat occupied.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
