MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Transportation Road Sector said on Monday it would recommend increasing the passenger capacity of public utility vehicles to the national government's coronavirus task force. 

 

In a statement, the DOTr said its road sector division would study how big such an increase would be until Wednesday before making the recommendation to the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases. 

 

“An increase in passenger capacity should be progressive and compliant with the mandates of local governments and the IATF,” transportation secretary Arthur Tugade is quoted as saying.
