What's new with the "new" LTO Driver's License card ( + photos)
THE Land Transportation Office (LTO) revealed the design of the new driver’s license cards set to be released this August.

LTO chief Alfonso Tan Jr. said there are a few changes but "...it’s essentially the same."

In a news article from The Star, Tan said they retained “almost everything” on the new driver’s license cards, and just added the words ”driver’s license,” amid complaints from Filipinos abroad that their licenses are not honored overseas.

Resolution has been enhanced and the cards will be printed in 600dpi. The fonts of name of the driver and his/her address will be enlarged for better readability. The "Philippines" and "millennium" tags printed at the top and bottom of the flag are removed while "height," "weight," and "agency" are spelled out.


Design of the new LTO driver’s license cards


Though sporting a new look, the non-professional and professional driver’s license cards will still be colored blue.

The student’s permit, which used to be made of paper has been changed to plastic cards and will be colored orange. The fee will still be P150 for the student's permit.

The conductor's permit, meanwhile, will be colored yellow.

The Allcard Plastics Philippines Inc. is the new supplier of driver’s license cards.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u

Commuter's Guide to Modern Jeepney Routes, Fares in Metro Manila

With the easing of Covid quarantine measures in Metro Manila, the government reopens a number of jeepney routes to try to get life in the metropolis back to something like normal. But for the time being, only the modern public utility vehicles or the "modern jeepneys," as we call them, will be allowed. They will serve areas in Metro Manila that are under general community quarantine (GCQ) as the transition into the “new normal” continues. Below are the routes of modern jeepneys allowed to travel based on the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Omnibus Franchising Guidelines (OFG). Cashless fare payment systems are implemented and only 50% of total passenger capacity can be used to comply with social distancing measures. The minimum fare for the first 4 kilometers is Php11, and an additional Php1.50 for the next few kilometers if non-air-conditioned and Php1.80 if air-conditioned. Initially, there are 34 routes available for the metro commuters
