QUEZON CITY, Philippines (Eagle News) — Several transport groups will start using new public utility jeeps within the next three months.
According to the memorandum of agreement signed between the Department of Transportation and the transport groups, the latter promised to operate at least 3,000 modern public utility jeepneys under the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program of the government.
“Ang direksyon po ni Secretary Tugade ay mapabilis ang paglabas ng mga modern PUVs upang maiparanas nang agaran sa publiko ang comfort at convenience na dala ng PUV Modernization. Kaya doon po sa mga nagtatanong kung nasaan ang mga bagong jeepneys, darating na po ang mga bagong sasakyan within three to six months,” Undersecretary for Road Transport Thomas Orbos said in a briefing.
As part of the MOA, a private supplier promised that it will deliver 20,000 modern PUJs every year, while another promised to help in the financing requirements.
