Quezon City 5th district Rep. Alfred Vargas has called on the national government to address the shortage of public transportation, emphasizing that the government has not effectively addressed the transportation crisis.

“The shortage in public transportation has not been effectively addressed ever since the national government allowed businesses and commercial establishments to resume full operations,” Vargas said in a statement on Sunday, June 26.

The House Social Services Chair speculated that overcrowding at transport hubs around the National Capital Region had contributed to the rising number of Covid-19 cases. Vargas added that local government units should push to quell the rising Covid-19 cases; and that LGUs should more strictly enforce health protocols.
