By Felipe V. Celino 

ROXAS CITY, Capiz — Effective June 1, an odd-even scheme will be implemented on passenger tricycles here after the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) amended City Ordinance 019-2020, particularly Sections 2 and 7.

According to City Councilor Albert Gregory Potato, the changes to odd-even scheme will allow more passenger tricycles to operate.

Potato said tricycles with registration numbers ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 can operate every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while those ending in 2, 4, 6, 8 and 0 can operate every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Exemption will be allowed for tricycles that will be used for personal, private, or family use. The driver or operator must place a large readable poster or signage outside the side car stating that it is for private use or family use only.

Meanwhile, all tricycles are allowed to operate on Sunday.
