                    [Summary] => Amid soaring fuel prices, a jeepney organization asked the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) yesterday to raise the minimum fare nationwide by P1.50.


The petition, however, seeks a reduction in charges for every kilometer after the first six kilometers from P1.25 to just 75 centavos.


LTFRB Chairman Elena Bautista, in a text message to The STAR, said the demand would increase the minimum fare from P7.50 to P9 but would in effect reduce the fare for long trips by as much as 50 centavos per kilometer.

Ayon kay LTFRB Chairman Elena Bautista, nanghihingi umano ng karagdagang P5 ang mga operators ng mga taxi para sa kanilang flag down rate.


Sa ilalim umano ng karagdagang flag down rate, P2.50 ang sisingilin para sa susunod na 250 meters at 2.00 kada minuto naman para sa waiting time.

The President and the Cabinet, in a meeting last week, decided to adopt the measure as a "safety net" to avert a fare hike by PUJs and PUBs.


This is to ease their costs of maintenance following the series of increases in the price of imported crude oil, President Arroyo said.
