IT’S official. P11 minimum fare for traditional jeepney nationwide.
This after the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) on Wednesday announced an increase in the minimum fare for traditional jeepneys.
In a decision dated July 29, 2022, the LTFRB granted the motion of transport groups 1-UTAK, PASANG MASDA, ALTODAP, ACTO, and several regional transport groups to consolidate their petitions for fare increase into a single petition.
With this, the land transport regulator granted an additional P1.00 provisional fare hike for traditional public utility jeepneys (PUJs) in the National Capital Region (NCR), Regions 3, and 4.
In other areas, the minimum fare increases by P2.00 to P11.00 from P9.00 for the first four kilometers, with no increase in the succeeding kilometers of travel.
The agency also approved to increase the minimum fare for modern PUJs nationwide to P13.00 from the current P12.00.
The order shall take effect on July 1, 2022, according to LTFRB Executive Director Tina Cassion.
“The Board is mindful of the present economic state of every Filipino brought about by the continuous rise in oil prices in the world market and the reeling effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the LTFRB said in its decision.
