00:00The government's target is to finish half of the route nationalization or the road arrangement of public transportation in the country this year.

00:09According to some transport groups, it is unlikely to reach.

00:12We have first news, Nico Wahid.

00:18Since the start of the route rationalization or road arrangement of public transportation in the country in 2024,

00:25only 15% has been completed according to the Department of Transportation.

00:30The target of the DOTR is to complete it by 2026.

00:34Our target is 50% by the end of 2025.

00:38By 2026, another 50%.

00:42So we hope to achieve 100% by December next year.

00:46Just like the consolidation of the franchise to make public transportation modern,

00:51route rationalization has a process.

00:54We have to finish first the route rationalization and then after that,

00:59our cooperatives will have an obligation to replace the vehicle.

01:05Assuming we end the route rationalization by the end of 2026,

01:09hopefully by the end of 2029, all of this will be modern.

01:14Not only the vehicle, but also the routes.

01:18But according to the DOTR, those who first got a modernized jeepney that was included in the DOTR,

01:24they were not obliged to replace their newer units.

01:28But according to some transport groups, the route rationalization is likely to be complete by 2026.

01:34We always have 13% completed in those 8 years.

01:38That's just a few years.

01:40That's what they're saying.

01:41In those years, their route rationalization will be completed.

01:47That's just a few years.

01:48Although the DOTR said that the routes will be first before the modernization of the jeepney,

01:53the government's modernized jeepney will not be enough for the majority of the routes,

01:58even if it's already completed.

02:00There will be a transport crisis that they are not reporting.

02:04What if they remove the non-consolidated vehicles?

02:09Then the DOTR will be more strict on where they will get the units.

02:15There is no problem in modernizing.

02:18What they don't want is consolidation.

02:20What they want is to allow Filipinos to make a new jeepney that is not expensive.

02:25This is the first news.
