Transport operators and drivers need to have the new fare matrix approved by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board that takes effect today (Monday) before they can start charging commuters higher fares. READ:
Transportation Sec. Jaime Bautista said public utility vehicles must first post the new fare matrix inside their vehicle before implementing the fare hike.LTFRB chairperson Cheloy Garafil said PUVs with no new fare matrix must collect only the old fare rates.“Our drivers earn so little because of the increase in the prices of gasoline and maintenance. Because of inflation, we also have to adjust the fare rates,” he said.
Buses, on the other hand, will increase their minimum fare by P2 to put it at P13, with a P2.25 increment for every succeeding kilometer. The LTFRB also raised the flag-down rates of taxis and transport network vehicle service by P5, with no additional fees for succeeding kilometers.The DOTr is also the upward fare request of LRT-1 and other train lines, he said.
