00:00 Some jeepneys are complaining that the passengers are too noisy.
00:04 This is a problem.
00:06 The destination is far or near.
00:08 That's why some are paying twice the fare.
00:12 The LTFRB reported on the arrest of Bernadette Reyes.
00:16 According to the passengers here at Edsa Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong,
00:24 the jeepney driver's complaint is fixed-rate, no matter how far the journey is.
00:30 This is what the student, Nadz, experienced every day.
00:34 And in addition to other expenses at school,
00:37 she is spending a large part of her budget on transportation.
00:41 It's far or near.
00:43 It's P35, sometimes P60.
00:45 But how much should you pay?
00:47 It should be P18 or P20 or above.
00:50 There's no other vehicle that's close to us.
00:54 So we have no choice.
00:56 Lisa says she has no choice.
00:58 That's why she's riding a jeepney that should only cost P12.
01:02 I'm going to ride P25 because I want to get there.
01:04 This is still cheaper.
01:05 It's P300 when you're riding a taxi.
01:08 Some drivers that we interviewed explained that they won't go home
01:13 if they don't pay more.
01:16 We have to wait until the morning, minimum 30 minutes.
01:20 And then we have to wait until the afternoon, 40 minutes.
01:24 Why?
01:25 Because we have to wait in line for a long time.
01:30 Aside from the long waiting, the drivers also say that they have to pay a lot before they can travel,
01:37 including the fare at the jeepney terminal.
01:39 The first line is P260, then the second is P20, and then the boundary is P1,000.
01:45 It's hard because when you run, you can barely see anything.
01:49 There are a lot of people in line.
01:51 The people who are waiting in line are not in line.
01:53 But according to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, LTFRB,
01:57 it's prohibited to ask for a fare that is too high.
02:01 If you ask for a fare that is too high, that would be a breach of franchise.
02:05 You cannot add more fare because there are barkers and terminal fees that you are paying.
02:11 That should form part of the operations.
02:14 LTFRB will decide who will be arrested for suspension until the cancellation of the franchise.
02:21 The driver may also suspend the license or be revoked if the violation is repeated.
02:27 LTFRB will remind that the appeal of a higher fare in the massage can be carried out in the right process.
02:34 They can file a petition to LTFRB for operational costs to increase,
02:40 the price of gasoline and inflation.
02:44 If justified, we will give the right to increase.
02:48 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Nakatuto 24 Hours.
