JEEPNEY MODERNIZATION PROGRAM

JEEPNEY MODERNIZATION PROGRAM. Traditional jeepneys traverse along Elliptical Road in Quezon City on Friday (Feb. 3, 2023). The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) urges jeepney operators to join a cooperative or corporation as required in the jeepney modernization program, which calls for the phasing-out of jeepneys, buses and other public utility vehicles (PUVs) that are at least 15 years old and replacing them with safer, more comfortable and more environmentally-friendly alternatives over the next three years. (PNA photo by Ben Briones)
