Minimum jeepney fare back to P7.50 next week

[SIZE=2]Minimum jeepney fares have been increased and will return to their P7.50 level starting Monday, DZMM reported.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Quoting Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board Chairman Thompson Lantion, DZMM reporter Junry Hidalgo said the increase will cover jeepneys in Metro Manila, Region III (Central Luzon) and Region 4 (Southern Tagalog).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Lantion said fares have been increased because of the corresponding increase in the price of diesel which is now at P36 per liter, up from the previous P33 per liter when the previous minimum fare of P7 was set.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]LTFRB reasoned out that the fare is just being returned to its normal levels. In fact, this was the minimum fare upon which fare matrices were computed. The minimum fare was previously at P7.50 but in December 2006, this was reduced to P7.00 as a gift to the riding public.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Lantion also said the arguments for the proposed P1.50 fare increase will be heard in January.[/SIZE]

IMO - ok lang yan.... 50 centavos lang yan (and mapupunta din sa income ng jeepney drivers) compared sa mga ginagastos natin needlessly sa forwarded text message, yosi, etc.

Kawawa rin naman sila, if you notice kuntento na sila sa pa barya-baryang bayad. Really that they’re the major cause of traffic pero they also need to survive. They’re just a victim gaya nating lahat…. ewan kung sino di apektado sa oil price hike?

[boydapa]

tama! gaya ng commercial ng gobyerno yan ang patunay na ramdam natin ang pag asenso! o hindi ba ang dami na nakakaramdam dun plng sa commercial nila kaya ayan naisipan nilang dagdagan pa ang singil para siguradong maramdaman na ng mga mamamayan.

Nanaman? eh paano yan mga ibang jeepney driver di na nanunukli pag otso binigay!dapat eksaktong 8 pesos nalang tapos good for 1 year na yun na walang dagdag pasahe, tapos the following year, 9 pesos na.oks ba sa inyo yun? Hirap kasi kung may butal pa ang bayad?

eh sweldo kaya kelan tataas?? buti pa mga tao sa gobyerno papunta-punta na lang ng meeting sa malacanang may 500,000 kagad!!

mukhang maganda kita sa gobyerno ah! sa quarrying sa pampanga 1.2 m ang daily income ng local government samantalang dati daw eh 45 thou lang daily! san kaya napunta yun ibang income dati???

the fare hike should be approved by NEDA muna.

It will have a negative effect on the economy.

When people have to spend more on transpo, they will cut back on other stuff... like consumer basics.

Consumer spending will slow down. So will the economy.

Employers cant just raise salaries.

If the employers are forced to raise salaries, they will have to raise prices of their goods and services.

That would lead to more inflation.

It's a vicious cycle.
