00:00 Those are the routes that the workers and students, especially in U-Belt,
00:05 have passed through the routes marked by the Pistons
00:08 that will be taken away by the traditional jeepneys from February 1.
00:13 That is after the announcement of the LTFRB
00:16 that almost half of the jeepneys in Metro Manila are not yet consolidated.
00:21 Joseph Morong was on the spot.
00:26 In the jeepney route of Cubao de Vizoria, everyday, many people are hoping to buy cheap goods.
00:32 But since February 1,
00:34 despite the possible loss of the traditional jeepneys,
00:38 according to the Pistons group,
00:39 because they will be caught by those who are not consolidated,
00:42 they are still 165 while only 13 are modern.
00:46 Where will our commuters ride?
00:50 The 13 units will not be able to carry the many passengers.
00:56 The vehicle that is being used in the Cubao route via Irodriguez, Spain,
01:02 that passed through Quiapo and other main destinations in Manila,
01:06 is also affected by the Project 3 trip in Quezon City.
01:09 The same route, Sukipa,
01:11 that many employees and students, especially in University Belt,
01:15 all of the trips here and the traditional jeepneys,
01:17 none of them are modern or minibus.
01:19 We will see that the public transport is not enough.
01:23 We will see that during the last hour.
01:27 The Student Council of the University of the Philippines
01:31 wrote to their admin for the dialogue for the jeepneys passing through the campus
01:36 that will be affected by the order.
01:38 Some routes were mentioned that the jeepneys are not consolidated yet.
01:42 Although I talked to the UP Pantranco,
01:45 they said that they will consolidate this December.
01:48 We are afraid because many will not be able to register.
01:51 Some of us are registering for December,
01:53 but we will not be able to register for the end of the year.
01:55 According to the Pistons, there is no crisis in transportation.
02:00 Even though the December 31 consolidation deadline was passed,
02:03 the traditional jeepneys are still allowed until January 31.
02:08 But what will happen on February 1 when the pursuit of the deconsolidated jeepneys begins,
02:12 as stated by the LTFRB yesterday?
02:15 According to the LTFRB,
02:17 more than 20,000 jeeps in Metro Manila are not consolidated yet
02:22 and will be considered as "colorum" on February 1.
02:25 That's almost half of the jeepneys in the region.
02:30 More than three out of four jeepneys in the country are consolidated.
02:36 The Pistons also said that the LTFRB should not be caught on February 1
02:41 because the LTFRB has no power to suspend its franchisees,
02:46 and only the provisional authority of the LTFRB
02:49 because their franchisees came from the Congress and the visa is longer.
02:53 If we ask for five years,
02:55 we should allow it and not continue it.
03:00 We are still asking for the LTFRB's approval,
03:04 but they said yesterday that there will be no crisis in transportation.
03:08 Most of the primary land areas are consolidated by groups.
03:12 After January, the groups will be given consolidated routes.
03:19 In these routes, there is less than 60% or zero,
03:23 to be given to another entity,
03:26 either a cooperative or corporation,
03:28 for them to assume that route to help the investors.
03:33 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, KTK 24 Hours.
