"The board decided to open again the online application for TNVS new CPC starting December 17, 2018, with a total of 20,000 slots/units," The LTFRB said. Some commuters had turned to motorcycling-hailing service Angkas, which typically provides transportation services for much lower prices.

Applicants looking to register as a TNVS can register via the LTFRB's website starting on Monday, December 17, until Thursday, January 3.
