Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian urged the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to carefully weigh the impact of the proposed provisional fare increase of P2 for jeepneys, emphasizing the need to balance the concerns of both drivers and commuters.
Gatchalian warned that a significant fare hike could further strain low-income Filipinos who are already struggling with the high cost of food and other necessities.
He pointed out that any increase in transportation costs could reduce disposable income, affecting spending on essential needs such as health care, education and housing.
