CEBU CITY, Philippines— An ordinance to adjust tricycle fares in Lapu-Lapu City while on general community quarantine (GCQ) was proposed in an online public hearing held Wednesday morning, May 27,
The public hearing on Wednesday tackled two proposed ordinances: an ordinance establishing standards during the state of General Community Quarantine in the City of Lapu-Lapu, and an ordinance suspending the effectivity of an Ordinance No. 138-2008 providing for regular fare rates of tricycles, and imposing additional safety measures.
The public hearing started with the ordinance authored by councilor Gregorio Paquibot, which is the ordinance suspending the effectivity of Ordinance No. 138-2008. The proposed ordinance states that tricycle fares will be increased from the normal rates to help cushion the financial impact on drivers due to the GCQ.
“Ordinansa nga gi proponer aron kini pag address sa problema nga mahitabo unya sa mga pasahero ug sa mga tricycle drivers. Kini atong gi proponer subject ni sa approval sa atong konseho sa sunod nga session,” said Paquibot.In the proposed ordinance, tricycle fares will now be ranging from P15-P25, depending on the destination from the point of origin, which is the Lapu-Lapu Public Market. The usual fare ranged from P8-P12.
The proposed ordinance also includes sanctions for those who will be caught violating the said ordinance. /bmjoThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
