Senator Risa Hontiveros has urged the Department of Transportation (DoTr) and the Land Transport Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to include in the service contracting program public utility vehicles (PUV) drivers and operators who have not yet bought into the PUV modernization.
“Sinusuportahan ko ang paglalagay ng malaking budget para sa service contracting program ng LTFRB,” she said.
“Pero inaalala ko na baka i-discriminate o hindi isali ang mga tsuper na hindi pa kabilang sa PUV modernization program ng gobyerno,” Hontiveros said.
“Service contracting should be for all. And not just for those who have already bought into the PUV modernization program,” she said.
“Wala dapat diskriminasyon sa operators at drivers at dapat siguruhing lahat ay may pagkakataong sumali sa service-contracting at libreng sakay program,” she added.
Hontiveros stressed that at least 50 percent of jeepney and UV operators had not joined the program due to issues and problems confronted in its implementation.
The DoTr, in a forum held by the UP National Center for Transport Studies, stated that the policy intent now is to make service contracting a central component of PUV modernization.
