No. What I heard is that the minimum fare is 9.00 in the first four kilometers. Plus 1.00 for every succeeding kilometer. So kwentaha na kuno daan pila inyong plitihan.

. . .But no increase in transport fares yet

COMMUTERS should not be worried about another round of increase in transport fares, at least for the next two months, according to Claire de la Fuente, president of the Integrated Metro Bus Operators’ Association.

De la Fuente made the assurance to clarify reports that bus operators are planning to file a petition for fare increase after the Philippine National Construction Corp. announced its plan to raise toll fees.

According to de la Fuente, fare increase is inevitable because of the high price of oil products in the market but she added that “they are still looking for other means to somehow avoid resorting to fare adjustments.”

“What I said is that if ever we will file a petition for fare increase, we will ask the franchising board to come up with a different fare computation for buses that use expressways,” de la Fuente explained.
The PNCC has announced that will increase its toll fees by 29 percent starting May 15 at the South Luzon Expressway.

Charito Perez, PNCC corporate communications chief, said that the toll adjustment would only be implemented from Alabang to Calamba, Laguna, a distance of 30 kilometers.

“As a general rule, the PNCC is entitled to a yearly adjustment in toll fees to take care of the annual rise in operating and maintaining the toll ways. Because of these we have applied for an adjustment for a reasonable return on the PNCC investments,” said Manuel Luis Antonio, PNCC tollways head.

The Pinagkaisang Samahan ng Tsuper at Operators Nationwide assured the public that it would not support any move by the public utility vehicles (PUVs) to ask for a fare increase.

George San Mateo, Piston spokesman, said the group believes that seeking an additional fare will only add to the suffering of the majority of people.

Instead, he said, transport groups should unite and ask the government to scrap the oil-deregulation law and control fuel prices.

Fare negotiations today

The government is negotiating a compromise deal with local jeepney operators and drivers to reduce the fare discount given to students from P1.50 to 50 centavos in lieu of a fare hike. But Chairman. Bautista said that the discount cannot be scrapped altogether as has been suggested by transport groups. She said that they are now looking for a compromise deal that would benefit the drivers as well as the passengers.

She explained that the reduction of 50 cents. is the best solution, just a fair deal because the drivers will get their P1 back and students and others commuters won't have to deal with another fare hike...

What do you think of the following proposed non-fare benefits?

1) government agencies will lower some of the penalities imposed against violations made by PUVs
2) strengthening of the anti-colorum drive
3) faster processing of franchise documents at the LTFRB

The rising cost of fuel in the world market will continue to push up pump prices. More than ever, our legislators particularly in the Senate should speed up the passage of the Biofuels Act and other measures that will aid in our bid for energy independence.

I'm just wondering why cebu students always pay the minimum jeepney fare of P6 when in fact they are only required by law to pay P5 only. All of them are entitled for a 20% discount on jeepney fares. for students..pls dont tolerate the jeepney drivers, and insist in paying P5. If the driver will get angry report his plate number and jeepney route to LTO. LTO will penalize those abusive drivers.

Should be.
