” The committee asked the associations to submit a written request for the fare hike before the public hearing.
The committee has involved the participation of the Gawad Kabuhayan Motorela Drivers/Operators Association (Gkab-MODA), Malaybalay City Motorela Association (MCMA), the Landing Kubayan Motorela Operators and Drivers Association (Lakumoda), and the Malaybalay City Motorela Operators and Drivers Cooperative (MCMODCO).
The resolution cited that after their review, the committee found that “because of the current fuel prices, the net income (of motorela drivers and operators) was not enough to support a family.”
But the city council noted that it can recall the provisional fare increase through appropriate legislation after another round of review.
