The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board said on Sunday that it closed 2024 by marking a year of “milestones,” particularly in its efforts to modernize public transportation and improve commuter services.
“This is considered a milestone, not just for the LTFRB, but for the entire government. It took seven years to finally reach this far in terms of the aspiration to modernize the country’s public transport. Despite several objections, strikes, and moves to suspend the program, we remain committed to accomplish the modernization program,” Guadiz said.
Additionally, the LTFRB granted a P10 increase in taxi flag-down rates, bringing it to P50, with further reviews underway.
