Transport group Liga ng Transportasyon at Operators sa Pilipinas on Tuesday suggested transferring the funds intended for fare discounts to the government's public utility vehicle modernization program.
"Ang aming rekomendasyon — napakaliit kasi 'yung binibigay sa public transport — idagdag na lang sa gastusin doon sa equity, doon sa public transport, para madagdagan 'yung makapag-modernize," he said at a televised public briefing. The PUV fare discount was pushed in place of free rides in the EDSA Bus Carousel, which ended on December 31, 2022.
The PUV fare discount may last for only six months because of their limited budget of P1.285 billion under the 2023 General Appropriations Act and P875 million under unprogrammed funds, it added.
