As we celebrate, 🇵🇭 #IndependenceDay, are we really free to move around and experience our cities? Regardless of mode of transport, how easy is it for you to get from one place to another?

Sadly, the ~70% who takes public transport continue to suffer as issues hound #PUVMP 🕊️

Documents of #PUVs, which should be displayed on the dashboards or windshields of the vehicles, would be checked by the personnel of the #LandTransportationOffice(LTO), #MetropolitanManilaDevelopmentAuthority(MMDA), and #PhilippineNationalPolice(PNP), said the LTFRB.. #Philippines #PUVMP

The #jeepney is the backbone of the #Philippines’ transport system. The customised, privately-owned buses, which look like a cross between a Jeep and a van and are decorated in flamboyant colours, ply routes in neighbourhood streets and city centres, offering rides for as little as 13 pesos (23 US cents). #PUVMP

#MANILA, #Philippines – Transportation group #PISTON is set to conduct a three-day nationwide strike from April 29 to May 1, coinciding with the “final” April 30 deadline for jeepneys to consolidate. Under the PUV Modernization Program, the government requires jeepneys and UV Express units to either form or join a cooperative or corporation to continue operating. #PUVMP

#MANILA, #Philippines – #Commuters may just bear the pain of the government’s modernization program as minimum fares could soar from the current P15 to as high as P40.

Experts and manufacturers fear that the high cost of modern #jeepneys could force a #FareHike. #PUVMP

Can jeepney fares stay at P15 after modernization? Experts fear it could double.
