Share TweetBy Alexandria San JuanBarely a year left until the full-blown implementation of the public utility vehicle (PUV) modernization program, transport regulators said only more than two percent of the 170,000 jeepneys nationwide are currently operating as new and modernized units. This was revealed during a press conference at the LTFRB office on Monday in time with the transport protest staged by members of Pinagkaisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operator Nationwide (PISTON) and Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (ACTO) against the administration’s PUV Modernization Program. With the slow turn out of modernized and compliant PUJs, LTFRB member Ronaldo Corpus is blaming the lack of supply of units to operators. Numbers of suppliers manufacturing the modernized units are inadequate,” Corpus said in an interview.
