I'm really rooting for the e-jeepneys though. Just look at how successful the e-trikes are in Manila.

I don't think that's successful. Tricycle dapat replace nila. Kaso ginawa na nilang mini jeep ang etrike nila. May route sila. Tapos 20 pesos isang tao. Tapos andyan pa rin naman mga gas engine tricycle

Oonga eh, hindi kasi nareregulate ang fare ng mga tricycles so ganon din sila. I see this as a step in the right direction though. I'm sure many etrike drivers were former tricycle or even kuliglig drivers. I wonder why the LTFRB is doing next to nothing with regards to regulation of tricycles.

Tricycle fare regulation is devolved to the local government

Unfortunately there seems to be no regulation whatsoever at all. Tricycles are charging like taxis and etrikes like UV Express! This despite the fact that they are the cheapest to run and maintain.

if the program is to succeed, someone has to exercise some teeth.

its a very unpopular decision but it will be for the good of the country. dapat matapos lahat ng phase ng modernization during the current admin dahil pag nag carry over to next pa yan. ewan na lang kung matatapos pa.

dapat may phaseout din ang jeep eh noh like taxi. X number of years palit na. sobrang bawi na sila sa jeep na running 30-40 years on road. sa sobrang tipid o walang budget ng jeepney driver pati headlight hinde na binubuksan sa gabi.
