A Cebu-based cooperative has announced it will deploy an additional 200 units of modern jeepneys in the Visayas beginning next year. /PDI
Of the 200 new units for 2023, at least 70 of these will be deployed in Bacolod City in Negros Occidental.
Quevedo called on the government to fast track the implementation of the modernization program of public transportation as their units are relatively affected by the continued operation of traditional jeepneys. He said they were promised full implementation in Cebu but still there are many traditional jeepneys plying several routes in Metro Cebu, a pilot area of the modernization program.
“What is happening now, our competitors are the traditional jeepneys. We have higher fare than the traditional jeepney so the people prefer to ride those with lower fare,” Quevedo said.
