Homebound people are excluded from the “no vaccine, no ride” regulation, according to the Department of Transportation.

Individuals returning home, whether to Metro Manila or to a province, is no longer subject to the “no vaccine, no ride” policy in the National Capital Region’s public transportation system (NCR).

In a Viber message to reporters, Department of Transportation (DOTr) Assistant Secretary Goddes Hope Libiran said that returning home is considered “essential travel” and that those who are unvaccinated will be allowed to travel in all modes of public transportation, whether alone or with their children.

“Kung may proof na palabas o papasok ng Metro Manila para umuwi sa kanilang permanenteng tirahan, allowed ‘yon at kasama sa exceptions,” Libiran added. “Kung may proof na palabas o papasok ng Metro Manila para umuwi sa kanilang permanenteng tirahan, allowed ‘yon at kasama sa exception

Those who are unvaccinated and returning home will need to show proof of residency, such as a government-issued ID with their exact address, according to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).

Earlier, DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade directed the Philippine Ports Authority and other transportation officials to allow stranded travelers with children at the Manila North Harbor to return home to their regions because it is deemed an essential mode of transportation.

Tugade also ordered the installation of vaccination centers in “strategic sites” such as rail stations, ports, and land terminals to provide more people access to Covid-19 vaccines.

To assist in combat the spread of Covid-19, the DOTr implemented a “no vaccine, no ride” policy on Monday in response to a recent rise in new cases.

Except for individuals who are medically exempt, those who need to purchase important products and services, and those who work in essential industries, the policy prohibits the unvaccinated and partially unvaccinated from using public transit.
