The first day of the planned week-long strike of some transport groups to protest the government's public utility vehicle modernization program affected only 10% of routes in Metro Manila, an official of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board said Monday.
Regarding Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista's warning to the transport sector that the government may revoke the franchises of those who will take part in the strike, Bolano said this is already included in the Certificate of Public Convenience given to operators. The LTFRB official also said as early as 2018, the government held caravans to inform the transport sector about the PUV modernization program.
Asked about the high cost of new units that are environment-friendly, Bolano said it is not the individual operator who will assume a bank loan for the purchase of the unit but the consolidated entity. This makes it easier for operators to get new units. The LTFRB official said 62% of target public utility jeepneys in the country have already been consolidated into transport cooperatives.
