Wala nang formal hearing sa mga aplikasyon para sa franchise renewal 

Mas pinabilis na ng Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) ang proseso para sa aplikasyon ng extension ng validity ng certificates of public convenience (CPC) sa pag-aalis ng kinakailangang formal hearings.
Sa pahayag nitong Miyerkules, Mayo 20, sinabi ni LTFRB chairperson Vigor Mendoza II na “no need for another hearing to extend CPC validity” para sa mga unit na “remained true to their commitment to providing good public transportation service.”
“Renewing a CPC is different from applying for the first time. For CPC renewal, the public need for the service had already been proven, and the operator had already been found qualified to run it. The renewal is simply asking to keep doing what was already allowed,” ani Mendoza.
Ang CPC ay dokumento na nagpapahintulot sa operasyon ng public utility vehicle (PUV).
Sinabi ng LTFRB na ang aplikasyon para sa renewal ay hindi isang orihinal na proseso.
Ipinaliwanag ng ahensya na ito ay “continuation of an already-established franchise, requiring only a showing that the operator has maintained compliance with the conditions under which the CPC was previously granted.”
Ang hakbang ay bahagi ng pamamaraan para mapadali ang mga proseso sa bansa na ipinag-utos ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at nasa ilalim ng Public Service Act at Ease of Doing Business Law.
“Our goal is clear, to make everything easy and comfortable for all our clients and to make them feel that they are essential partners of the national government in the interest of the riding public,” ani Mendoza.
“We are on the right track in doing so, and we are confident that the ease of the transactions that our client would experience would translate to further improvement of services to millions of Filipino commuters,” dagdag pa niya.
