BACOLOD CITY — Mayor Alfredo Abelardo ‘Albee’ Benitez has assured traditional jeepney operators here that there will be no apprehension against them amid the ongoing meeting of the city government, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board and Land Transportation Office regarding the modernization program.
