LTFRB Fuel Subsidy Now Sent via GCash for Drivers

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is now distributing fuel subsidies directly to eligible public transportation drivers nationwide through GCash. This new digital disbursement method aims to streamline government assistance and eliminate long queues. This is a significant improvement for drivers and commuters in Quezon City, as it makes crucial financial aid more accessible and efficient, reducing the time and travel needed to claim benefits. It directly supports the livelihood of public transport workers who are vital to the city’s daily commute. Eligible beneficiaries, including PUJ, taxi, and UV Express drivers, will receive the subsidy directly into their registered GCash accounts without needing to visit physical disbursement centers. Drivers should ensure their LTFRB and GCash account details are updated to receive the aid.
