LESSER traffic, cleaner air, easier travel may soon be coming to Baguio City. The city government under Mayor Benjamin Magalong is considering working with Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. on a smart urban mobility project with road congestion pricing as a main component. Road congestion pricing works much like a toll and can be applied on a road, area or zone in order to discourage the use of private motor vehicles. Public consultation on the proposal is ongoing.
public transportation, particularly jeepneys, will be exempted from paying the congestion fee, as well as vehicles driven by senior citizens and persons with disability, uniformed personnel on active duty and emergency response vehicles ... taxis will have a discounted congestion fee rate as well as government vehicles with approved travel order; while vehicles by Baguio residents will be qualified for rebates as proposed.
