Pasig City will be giving financial assistance to PUV drivers affected by the community quarantine. Pasig City mayor Vico Sotto tweeted that PUV drivers, including jeepney drivers, tricycle drivers, and UV drivers, will be receiving financial assistance of PHP 3,000. According to Pasig City's estimation, they will be providing 18,500 drivers for a total of PHP 55.5 million. Seems like passenger pleas were heard as Grab will now be implementing an update that will hide passenger destination from their drivers. Some drivers even going to extreme means just to provide a reason for cancellation. The update to the app will roll out on April 27, from then on out Grab drivers will no longer be able to see passenger destinations prior to booking acceptance. It will, however, initially roll out to just 25% of the drivers with the lowest acceptance rates. “We want to vastly improve our services; hence, our consecutive decisions to sanction 500 errant drivers over the week, and now the non-showing of the passenger destination and the auto-accept feature,” Cu said. Back in September last year the Jeepney Company, together with Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez Jr., showed attendees of Philippine Travel Mart 2013 a scale drawing of the proposed double-decker jeepney.
