The proposed fare discount for public utility vehicles (PUVs), to be implemented in the National Capital Region in April, will also be offered in select routes nationwide, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) said Thursday.

"Sa buong bansa po natin ito ipapatupad sa mga piling ruta sa siyudad na may pinakamaraming bilang po ng mga pasahero kagaya po ng nabanggit at alinsunod sa 2023 GAA provisions namin," DOTr Undersecretary Mark Steven Pastor said on Unang Balita.

Pastor said the PUV fare discount may last for only six months because of their limited budget of P1.285 billion under the 2023 General Appropriations Act and P875 million under unprogrammed funds.
