At least 26,000 workers have been affected by the bus transportation system implemented by the government and the rising fuel costs, a representative of a bus operators' group told a Senate panel Tuesday.
In Luzon, Yague said around 10,000 buses are operating of which only 8,000 were allowed to go inside the National Capital Region. "So meron ho kaming mga 4 to 5 employees per bus na kailangan po naming i-maintain. So, we're talking of about…around 26,000 to 28,000 employees ang affected," he stated. "Ano po ang solution? Kulang fare increase. Ang pinakamadali pong gawin at sana po mapag-aralan po ng ating LTFRB at saka DOTr, yung non-revenue na solution," he said.
"Ang garahe po ng provincial bus sector, malayo po doon sa mga designated na integrated terminal. So, pagdating po namin sa integrated terminal, nagkakaroon po kami ng non-revenue kilometers, pupunta po kami sa garahe namin para ayusin yung bus, linisin yung bus, at babalik kami sa integrated terminal para magsakay naman ng mga pasahero," he said.
