"Marami pong hindi naka-rehistro or unregistered o kaya walang prangkisa. Pagka hindi rehistrado yung tricycle, wala po siyang insurance, kaya yung ating mga pasahero walang makukuha in case of road crash,” Almora explained.

The “no plate, no travel” policy was agreed to be implemented by the Quezon City government and TODAs after the LTO was able to address the backlog on license plates for all tricycles being used as public transportation in Quezon City through the distribution of almost 3,000 license plates several weeks ago.
