Local : Jeepney Phaseout 2024

Category : Economic
Philippine transport groups are protesting against the jeepney phaseout that is due on
December 31, 2023, and replacing them with imported mini-busses. The cost of mini
buses is P2,800,000,00 while a traditional jeepney ranges from only P200,000 to
P400,000; the unfortunate part here is that the government will not shoulder
modernization expenses, leaving the burden to the drivers and commuters. This will
affect the livelihood of millions of drivers and the transportation of the Filipino general
population.
