00:07 The Mayor of Manila has just signed the necessary and prohibited
00:12 for passengers to board public vehicles in the city.
00:17 The Council of Manila issued an ordinance for this.
00:21 The commuters' voices are for the meeting of the June veneration.

00:28 Every rush hour, if the line is not long, passengers are waiting for their vehicles.
00:33 This is how it is in some public vehicles.
00:37 Those who are in the front line are pushing and sometimes,
00:41 they are even going crazy just to get home.
00:44 But if they are not allowed to sit in the jeep,
00:46 others are forced to just get in.
00:49 Do you often get in?
00:51 Yes, when I'm in a hurry in school because my teachers are strict.
00:56 But under the new ordinance of the City Council of Manila,
00:59 the boarding of public vehicles in the city
01:02 or all public vehicles in the city will be prohibited.
01:05 Mayor Hanny Lacuna has just signed and the so-called
01:09 "Bawal Sabit on Public Utility Vehicle Ordinance"
01:12 will be effective 15 days after its publication.
01:15 The ordinance is intended to protect the safety of passengers.
01:20 It's not good to look at the highly urbanized city.
01:24 That's what we are really concerned about.
01:26 The security and safety of the passengers, especially the students.
01:31 The question is, what will you send?
01:35 The driver or the passengers?
01:36 The driver will be fined the same as the passengers,
01:39 even if the driver is the conductor.
01:41 Pesos 500 for the first offense,
01:43 Pesos 1,500 for the second,
01:45 Pesos 3,000 for the third,
01:48 and for the following offenses.
01:50 How much will we be fined if we ride a public vehicle?
01:53 Think about your safety.
01:56 You can't ride a public vehicle.
01:58 But this is the point that we have talked about.
02:00 It's okay if there are many public vehicles.
02:03 Who would want to ride a public vehicle?
02:06 But if it's rush hour and it's already closed,
02:08 some will ride a public vehicle and just go home.
02:12 If there are enough public vehicles, no one will ride a public vehicle.
02:14 June, 24 hours.
02:17 We also listened to the voices of our online viewers
02:22 who have different opinions on the plan to ban the use of public transportation.
02:28 Some netizens said that the ordinance is just right,
02:31 especially when the passenger is paying to be able to sit safely and comfortably.
02:36 It is also said to avoid disgrace,
02:38 especially if the driver is the one who is usually blamed
02:40 if the passenger is dropped.
02:43 Some said that there is no choice for some commuters who are just stopping to go home
02:49 and they will not have enough time to wait.
02:52 Not all of them have a car,
02:55 so they should be allowed to use public transportation.
02:59 Some of our fellow citizens also questioned
03:02 whether to return the free ride or to monitor the temporary drivers who are cutting trips.
03:09 Some said that it's just a relationship and that it's prohibited to cut the ride.
03:16 You can also listen to your voice on social media accounts for 24 hours with Tiktok.
