THE Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) reminded commuters not to pay extra unless there is a new fare matrix displayed inside the vehicles.
This is in connection with the fare hike starting on Monday, Oct. 3, for passenger jeepneys and other public utility vehicles (PUVs).
A fare matrix displayed conspicuously inside the PUVs is one of the strict conditions in the implementation of the fare adjustment.
“PUVs covered by the fare hike resolutions need to have their fare matrix in their vehicles to be able to collect the fare increase,” LTFBR Chairperson Cheloy Velicaria-Garafil said. “Otherwise, they should only collect the old rates,” she added.
On Sept. 16, the LTFRB issued separate resolutions approving the petition for a fare increase for passenger jeepneys, buses, and Taxi and Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) nationwide.
