00:00LRT-1 passengers will be allowed to board the train starting on Wednesday.

00:05Jeepneys that did not join the modernization while studying the program have been banned on the road.

00:13Joseph Moro has been informed.

00:18When the April passengers board the LRT-1 trains,

00:23because from April 2, 5 to 10 pesos will be allowed.

00:28That's why the previous minimum fare of 15 pesos will now be 20 pesos.

00:32The final fare from Dr. Santos to Fernando Poe Jr. in Quezon City,

00:37which was 45 pesos, will now be 55 pesos.

00:40The fare will be cheaper compared to stored value tickets or BIP cards.

00:45The Transportation Group tried to appeal to the TAS Singil in Malacanang,

00:49but DOTR and Malacanang said,

00:52The current operations of the LRT-1 are at great risk.

01:00The decision now is to continue with the fare increase.

01:04If I'm not mistaken, it was mentioned that the price should have been high for a long time,

01:10but it was halted for our commuters.

01:13But if we look at the situation, if this is included in the contract,

01:18and it was not fulfilled by the government,

01:23our commuters will have a bigger problem.

01:28According to the Light Rail Manila Corporation or LRMC,

01:31which is a private company that runs the LRT-1,

01:34they were only allowed to increase the fare once since they got the contract in 2014.

01:43Meanwhile, for those who are dependent on jeeps,

01:46there is hope that the prohibition of traditional jeeps,

01:50which are considered as collorum because they did not join the Public Transport Modernization Program or PTMP, will not be completed.

01:56According to Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon,

02:00DOTR and Manibela said that if he's the only one,

02:02he will allow their provisional authority to renew the traditional jeeps while they are still fixing the program.

02:09Secretary Dizon is re-studying the program in a committee he formed

02:14and he is hoping that changes will be implemented here.

02:18DOTR, Office of the Transportation Cooperative, and Land Transportation Office or LTO

02:24were the ones who initiated this.

02:26Why is there no Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB

02:31that will provide franchises?

02:33This does not mean that we will have changes in the LTFRB.

02:37I'm saying that categorically.

02:39It's really fresh eyes.

02:40It's a new perspective, a new perspective of this program

02:45because we admitted that there are a lot of things that need to be fixed.

02:49We are thankful because we asked our Secretary last week,

02:54and he immediately agreed.

02:56So we can say that he's listening.

03:00Manibela's group is hoping that a decision will be made before the Holy Week.

03:04For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong.

03:07For 24 Hours.
