Based sa MC (memorandum circular), kapag sumali ka, even if traditional ka pa rin, you can still operate. Ang ina-address lang po ng Board is the first component, which is the industry consolidation,” paliwanag ni Bolano.Nakasaad din sa circular na mawawalan na ng bisa ang provisional authority ng mga operator na hindi makakasali o walang aplikasyon sa anumang kooperatiba o korporasyon hanggang June 30.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/02/02/23/ltfrb-to-discuss-action-on-nearing-puv-modernization-deadline">LTFRB to discuss action on nearing PUV modernization deadline</a></li></ul>Hiling ng transport groups, bigyan sila ng isang taong palugit para makasunod sa industry consolidation.“Ang tingin ko diyan magkakaroon ng pagkukulang sa mga sasakyan dahil hindi naman ganoon kadali na mag-modernize,” ayon kay ALTODAP Chairman Boy Vargas.Sa datos ng LTFRB, nasa 158,000 units ng jeep sa buong bansa ang target na maisama sa programa.Sa ngayon, nasa 61 porsiyento pa lang ang nakasali sa mga kooperatiba at korporasyon.Nasa 5,300 naman ang modernized units ng jeepney.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/10/19/22/e-jeeps-cheaper-to-operate-than-diesel-jeeps-pangilinan">Electric jeepneys cheaper to own, operate than diesel jeepneys: MPIC’s Pangilinan</a></li></ul>Umaasa ang LTFRB na mas maraming operator at tsuper ang makasusunod sa consolidation hanggang June 30.Kumpiyansa rin silang hindi magkakaroon ng krisis sa transportasyon kung tigil-pasada na ang mga operator na hindi nakapag-consolidate.

Nilinaw ng LTFRB na hindi agad pagbabawalang bumiyahe ang mga traditional jeepney pagdating ng Hunyo 30, basta’t dumaan na sa industry consolidation.
