Not fair to PUJ drivers

September 26, 2025

According to a report in our sister publication BANAT News, police are saying that public utility jeepney drivers who let carolers on board to sing to passengers can now be arrested.

Cebu City Police Office deputy city director for operations Police Lieutenant Colonel Miguel Andeza said the Traffic Enforcement Unit has been tasked to arrest drivers who let this happen.

Police said this was to keep passengers safe from overly-aggressive carolers who often turn up for the “ber” months, and also to keep the carolers themselves safe from any accidents in the streets.

We agree with keeping passengers and carolers safe, but we don’t think it’s fair for PUJ drivers to be arrested for failing to keep carolers off their vehicles.
