These two groups cannot be allowed to derail the program,” Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said.He added the 83% consolidated public utility vehicles are enough to cater to commuters, but the route distribution is still being adjusted in coordination with the local governments.“For the next two years or so aayusin po, aayusin yung mga ruta before na marami at nalaman na natin na sobra, aayusin po.
