Passenger capacity in road and railway-based public transportation in Metro Manila will be gradually increased to full capacity beginning next week, Nov. 4, the Department of Transportation announced Friday, Oct. 29.This, after the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases approved on Thursday, Oct. 28, the DOTr’s proposal to slowly expand the passenger capacity of public utility vehicles in the National Capital Region for a month.
DOTr Assistant Secretary for Road Transport and Infrastructure Mark Steven Pastor said this development, along with the P1 billion cash aid from the government, will help PUV drivers cope with the effects of the pandemic and the skyrocketing fuel prices. “Ang DOTr, sa pamumuno po ni Secretary [Arthur] Art Tugade, ay ramdam at naiintindihan ang kanilang hinaing at hirap kung kaya naman kami ay nagpursige na itulak sa IATF na madagdagan na ang kapasidad sa public transport ,” he added.
Increasing passenger capacity, the DOTr emphasized, will translate to higher revenue for the public transport sector, considering the increase in expenses brought by rising fuel prices.
