"Simula ngayong araw ay bibiyahe na muli ang mga pampasaherong tricycle sa San Juan. Ang ating pamahalaang lungsod ay nagpatupad ng mga patakaran para siguraduhin ang kaligtasan ng mga pasahero at pati na din ng mga driver mula sa COVID-19," Zamora said.

According to Zamora, tricycle drivers must possess first a health clearance and travel pass to resume their operations. They must bring it all the time, he said.

The mayor said tricycle units must have plastic in order to protect not only the drivers but also their passengers.

One passenger is only allowed, Zamora noted. He said passengers cannot ride at the back of the driver.

The San Juan City government also requires drivers and passengers to wear face masks all the time to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
