Owners of old public utility jeepneys (PUJs) face the possibility of having their franchises revoked if they fail to comply with the PUV modernization program’s 2020 deadline.

“By 2020 bibigyan kayo ng notice, kapag hindi pa kayo gustong mag-modernize, io-open po namin ang inyong prangkisa sa ibang operators Undersecretary Mark de Leon said in an interview over radio DZBB.The PUV modernization program has met strong opposition from jeepney operators nationwide, claiming that the government’s program is anti-poor.

Each unit, however, costs around P1 million to P 2.2 million, which jeepney operators and drivers say is just too steep for them.
