so given that the boundary per shift is 1K per driver x 3 shifts a day = 3k boundary. so pano pa yun sa operator, let's say 3k din per day. so that's 6k per day.
6K x 30 = 180,000 per month for a jeep that cost 180k too. pero this jeep, will operate forever
so what's the major cost, diesel. what else, wala na they hide on idea that they are poor so they don't maintain anything anymore, tires, lights, engine, emission.
yan talaga ang tutoo dahlian bistado na sila .
so here's a video of the Beep Marikina, the conductor is happy at P500 per day, while the driver is happy at P1000 per day salaries. these are salaries, all other maint or monthly installment, shouldered by the coop or corporation.
look at the persona of the driver and conductor in this video. tipong Hinde magkakatarbaho ang mga ito sa iba.
bakit ayaw ng mga existing jeepney drivers ang bago sistema, kasi maliit sa kanila ang P500 per day or P1000 per day. P500 - P1k per day cannot send 2 kids to college. but the existing drivers say andami nila na-paaaral.
so ginawang livelihood na talaga. PUV driving should be dun lang dapat sa mga young people maybe up to 40 years old, parang nagtrabaho lang sa jollibee, or malls or barista, single people or starting families. makes sense, kaki driving is a very physical work, kelangan sharp mind and body.
pero most of those PUV drivers that will be affected, kina-reer na buong buhay ang PUV, nagpatayo ng bahay, nagpaaral whatever. kaya apektadong apektado sila.
