The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board assured on Tuesday, July 19, commuters that the government has sufficient funds to cover the free bus rides in Metro Manila, through the EDSA Carousel, until September this year.
The non-payment of the government’s balance to the EDSA Carousel operations is seen as the reason behind the shortage of buses transorting commuters along EDSA. “We started the payout at Week Six and so far, we have already paid for part of the Week 10. We told them not to rush us in paying because we are doing our best to ensure an updated payout for them,” said Garafil in a press briefing.
“We are confident and we’re relying on the words of our consortia that operate the busway that they will keep their word to maximize the deployment of 440 vehicles especially during hours,” said Garafil.
