The ₱1 fare hike gives a driver an additional ₱22 per trip, equivalent to ₱220 a day, good enough for a family of five, says National Center for Commuters Safety and Protection President Elvira Medina bit.ly/3NXWKS0 Image
National Center for Commuters Safety and Protection on proposed fare hike: It has long been due. A ₱1 contribution is not very difficult because we have a ₱10 coin system. It's easy to get it out of your pocket and it's easy to get a change.
National Center for Commuters Safety and Protection: A ₱2 fare increase is just enough, since an average worker is given a daily increase in minimum wage. I agree with ₱2 but not more than that
