The city Permits and licensing office will finally release franchises to Tricycles plying in the city of Tagbilaran. Tricycle operators, bared by city hall officials, can now secure franchises next month. The delayed in issuance was caused by an amendment of a city ordinance stating an unacceptable increase for operators in acquiring tricycle franchises. The Licensing and Permits department of the city hall said that new applicants will have to pay P12,000 while existing tricycle franchise holders will settle only p6,000 in a period of 3 years as under a new ordinance approved by the Sangguniang Panlungsod.
