This. I'm all for modernization and the safety/convenience of the riding public pero not at the sake of displacing jeepney drivers who can't afford to pay that much. Saan ilalagay yung mga hindi kaya magbayad? May plano na ang gobyerno diyan? Kung sakaling gawin nila tong mandatory madadagdagan na naman ang mga mahihirap na unemployed, lalo pa ngayon napakahirap maghanap ng trabaho.
