    This case involves a challenge to an ordinance and administrative order that placed restrictions on public transportation vehicles entering Manila from nearby provinces. Petitioners argued the regulations violated their vested rights to operate within Manila. The court upheld the regulations, finding that (1) they were a valid exercise of police power to promote traffic flow and public welfare, and (2) certificate holders have no property right or vested interest in routes that cannot be regulated by the state in the interest of the public. Passengers also have no vested right to direct transportation into Manila given changing transportation needs over time. The petition was denied.

    congestion, delays and accidents resulting from the free entry into the streets of
    FACTS: Manila and the operation around said streets.

    Original petitioners are passengers from the provinces of Cavite and Both Ordinance 4986 and A.O. 1 fit into the concept of promotion and regulation of
    Batangas who ride on buses plying along the routes between the said provinces and general welfare.

    suburbs. They assailed the validity of Ordinance 4986 and A.O. No. 1 s. 1964. concerned, a CPC constitutes neither a franchise nor a contract, confers no property
    right, and is a mere license or privilege.
    Under Ordinance 4986, PUB and PUJs shall be allowed to enter Manila only
    from 6:30am to 8:30pm every day except Sundays and holidays. Meanwhile, A.O. No. The holder does not acquire a property right in the route covered, nor does it confer

    The alleged right is dependent upon the manner public services are allowed to

    of the provincial buses and jeepneys shall be allowed to enter Manila; however, Times have changed and vehicles have increased. Traffic congestion has moved from
    provincial buses and jeepneys "operating within a radius of 50 kms. from Manila City worse to critical. Hence, there is a need to regulate the operation of public services.

    operators having less than five units are not permitted to cross the boundary and
    shall operate exclusively on the provincial end." This order also allocated the number
    of units each provincial bus operator is allowed to operate within the City of Manila.

    Petitioners contend that since they possess a valid Certficiate of Piublic


    Convenience (CPC), they have already acquired a vested right to operate. Moreover,
    Ordinance 4986 destroys vested rights of petitioning public services to operate inside
    Manila and to proceed to their respective terminals located in the City. They would
    want likewise to nullify said ordinance upon the averment that it impairs the vested
    rights of petitioning bus passengers to be transported directly to downtown Manila.

    ISSUES:
    1. Whether or not the said regulations are valid.
    2. Whether or not Ordinance 4986 destroys vested rights to operate in Manila.
