LTFRB to implement fare hike for jeepneys, buses and TNVS, effective October 4, 2022
One of the most affected sectors by the oil price increases is transportation. Our country’s PUVs have been struggling to keep up with the price increases due to the current fare structure each PUV has in place.
A respite is on the way, as the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has just approved a fare hike for the different PUVs, the said increases will take place starting October 4, 2022.
