We stand firm against the Jeepney Phaseout! π
The Cebu Development Community strongly opposes the phasing out of traditional jeepneys in favor of the PUV modernization program.
While we have supported the government's efforts to enhance the country's transportation landscape, we contend that this sudden transition will cause more harm than good, affecting not only jeepney drivers and operators but also millions of commuters nationwide. The PUV modernization program should be designed to facilitate a smooth transition for drivers and operators, without causing undue financial burdens during this era of high fuel prices and costly living expenses.
Traditional jeepneys also remain a iconic symbol of Philippine culture and lifestyle, providing service to millions of Filipinos for the past 80 years.
Let the traditional jeepneys stay.
