00:00 Some commuters are complaining that they have a hard time riding especially during rush hour.
00:05 Some commuter groups asked where the Department of Transportation got their information
00:10 that there are enough public vehicles in Metro Manila.
00:13 Darlene Cai has the first news.
00:15 Almost every day, there are queues of passengers in different vehicles in Metro Manila, especially during rush hour.
00:24 According to some commuters, they have to wait for an hour to ride.
00:29 It's harder to ride than before.
00:31 It's better to add more vehicles so that passengers can ride faster.
00:36 A jeepney driver, R.D. Boy, also noticed that passengers are more crowded in other routes.
00:42 Some choppers are not able to cross the road because they don't want to be consolidated.
00:46 It's hard during rush hour.
00:48 There are many passengers here waiting because there are only a few people traveling.
00:54 But the Department of Transportation said that public utility vehicles are enough.
00:59 The LTFRB report to us is that there are enough vehicles that are operating now
01:06 not only in Metro Manila but also in the other cities.
01:11 The people who are consolidating are offering the required seats that we need for the passengers
01:23 here in Metro Manila.
01:25 80% of the public utility vehicles in the country are consolidating
01:29 or those who joined the transport cooperatives and corporations before April 30.
01:35 It's enough for commuters.
01:37 DOTR Secretary Bautista said that jeeps are too much in other places.
01:43 There are routes that we need to reduce because there are too many.
01:51 Local public transport route plan is being developed
01:55 so that they can see the number of PUVs per route that the LGUs need.
02:00 Commuter groups like Alt Mobility and Transport Group Manibela are now in a slump.
02:06 What is the basis of DOTR?
02:08 Before the pandemic and before the consolidation deadline,
02:14 the supply of public transportation is already lacking.
02:17 We can see that wherever we go in Metro Manila, there are no vehicles.
02:21 DOTR and LTFRB are very saddened if they cannot see the hardship of our beloved mothers
02:30 who are suffering every day.
02:32 Alvario is reaching the places where it's very hard to travel.
02:38 This is the first news.
