To work legally in the Philippines, conductors must obtain a special permit issued by the LTO in order to obtain a Conductor’s License. For this type of license, you must submit your application to your nearest LTO office, take a written exam and a practical test that assesses your knowledge and skills as a conductor, and submit your requirements. In a sense, it’s a passport to working in public transportation. Furthermore, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that you’re following the law.
Taking the LTO Conductor’s License (CL) Exam
It is mandatory for the Land Transportation Authority (LTO) to conduct a written and practical test for each type of license or permit issued under the Land Transportation and Traffic Code (RA 4136). It is after all the conductors who are held liable for violations involving overloading of passengers, freight or cargo beyond their registered carrying capacity, so they need to know what they are doing.
For those wishing to work as conductors and earn money, the Conductor’s License is a necessary requirement, much like the Professional Driver’s License (PDL). The application requires applicants to take a written assessment of 20 items and to attend an orientation or enhancement program, regardless of whether they are able to drive. Despite not requiring or giving one the authority to drive, it does grant the bearer the following rights:
- The collection and issuance of tickets, passes, and fares
- Validating tickets that have been issued
- Passengers’ needs
- Assisting passengers with boarding, seating, and luggage, especially those who are elderly, sick, disabled, or injured;
- Passenger doors are opened and closed;

- Disembarkation signals to drivers
- Greeting passengers, checking transportation equipment, and announcing routes and stops
- Observing safety regulations
