PUJ DRIVERS’ FEAR. Two groups of PUJ drivers and operators have expressed fear that should the Metro Cebu Traffic Authority (MCTA) and the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) materialize it will be goodbye to the PUJs. A concerned citizen, who said he felt harrassed everytime the PUJs stage a strike, expressed favor over the MCTA and BRT plans. “Makabawos na gyud ta aning mga abusadong PUJ drivers,” he said clenching his right fist and punching his left palm.
