Inquirer reports that Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJs) will no longer be allowed to drive along the entire stretch 'starting next week'. The source adds that these two groups were the only ones consulted since they represent the biggest factions of jeepneys traversing EDSA. However, when the implementation kicks off this coming week, violating jeepneys will receive no fine from the MMDA since they haven't talked to the transport groups about the penalties yet. Over the following years, it is expected that 15,000 new jeepneys will replace 30,000 existing jeepneys. Also, the e-jeeps are said to be still cheaper to run than diesel-powered jeepneys that cost around Php1,000-Php1,200 compared to the Php400-Php500 of the e-jeeps of the same distance. Fares are still the same with mandatory fare issued to diesel-powered jeepneys but your cash won't be accepted as you should use a dedicated prepaid card.
