The minimum fare for public utility jeepneys (PUJs) remains at P9 as the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has yet to decide on the petitions of transport groups to increase fares amid the continuous increase in petroleum prices.
The minimum fare for public utility jeepneys remains at P9 as the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board has yet to decide on the petitions of transport groups to increase fares amid the continuous increase in petroleum prices.
In a separate statement, the LTFRB said that as a result of the said hearing, the Board, through its chairman Martin Delgra III, “manifested that the request for the grant of provisional adjustment to increase the minimum fare for PUJ service from P9.00 to P10.00 is now submitted for resolution by the Board.”
The groups’ main petition is for the LTFRB to increase the minimum fare by P5 to P14 and adjust the fare for succeeding kilometers after the first four kilometers from P1.50 to 2.50.
