00:00A group requested for an interim increase in the current minimum fare for jeepneys while their petition is still pending in the LTFRB.

00:11Operators and drivers of ride-hailing units are also requesting for an additional fare.

00:18Joseph Moro was on the scene.

00:20The LTFRB requested for an additional 5 pesos for the minimum fare and 2 pesos for every kilometer.

00:29The LTFRB requested for an additional 3 pesos for the three groups of jeepneys because the drivers were unable to meet the diesel prices.

00:37In fact, up to 300 pesos were missing from their income.

00:42What we want is to reduce the amount of money that we lost.

00:46But the petitions are still pending.

00:48While there is no decision yet, they may request for 1 to 2 pesos provisional or an interim increase while the diesel prices are not decreasing.

00:57We will lower the price again for our customers.

01:01The FEDJEDAP also has a separate petition for an interim increase, but it was withdrawn earlier.

01:06We are still feeling it, but we are prioritizing the rights of the people.

01:11Let's just wait. If the diesel prices really go up, maybe we will also file a petition.

01:17The commuters' reaction to the petitions for an additional fare.

01:21Don't do it, ma'am. The salary is not going up anymore.

01:24Peso. Give me a peso.

01:26I can't take it anymore.

01:27It's expensive in the market, and it's hard to find a job now.

01:32How about you, ma'am? Can you still afford it?

01:34Of course.

01:36Instead of taking a taxi.

01:38According to the LTFRB, it is possible for them to decide in April if they will allow the additional fare to the jeeps.

01:45The LTFRB needs to balance the expenses of the commuters nationwide if the petitions will be withdrawn at the same time

01:53for the additional fare of LRT Line 1 starting from April 2.

01:57We will also factor in the comments of the consumers.

02:01We will also factor in the needs of the drivers.

02:05There is a 10,000-peso fuel subsidy that the drivers receive from the jeeps due to the love of the crew, just like in August 2024.

02:13This year, they will receive two and a half billion pesos fuel subsidy for them according to the budget department.

02:21Even the operators and drivers of the ride-hailing units will receive a 25-peso increase in their flag down rate and three pesos increase for every kilometer of travel.

02:32The LTFRB will also focus on listening to the petition.

02:36For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, for 24 Hours.
