“When we say the peak season that will be around mid-December onwards until early January, the volume of passengers will rise by around 15%,” he added.The MIAA official said there was also a rise in travels to domestic destinations following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. In a statement, Poe, the Senate public services committee chairperson, pointed out that lack of available public transportation would open the opportunity for fly-by-night and colorum vehicles to operate.
Poe called on the concerned agencies to work closely with transportation groups and private operators to make sure there are sufficient PUVs to transport travelers safely to their destination.
