An eye-catching jeepney spotted in the poblacion of Manolo Fortich in Bukidnon on Sunday (31 December 2023) is still “king of the road.” The LTFRB is implementing the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program. Jeepney transport groups are opposing the modernization program. According to the Philippine Information Agency, the program “will implement a standard to maximize the benefits of modern jeepneys across the country. All jeepney engines should at least be Euro-4 and PNS (Philippine National Standards) compliant engines or LPG-powered, electronic, and hybrid. Having GPS, an automated fare collection system and a CCTV camera are other features to look for to be considered as a modernized jeepney. Furthermore, at least 15 years old can no longer be registered or operated. MindaNews photo by BONG S. SARMIENTO
