Readers laud idea of automatic matrix adjustment formula for minimum fare

GOOD IDEA. Many have expressed their approval of Councilor Jakosalem’s push for LTFRB to come up with a system to automatically adjust the minimum fare of jeepneys to correspond with the fluctuations of fuel prices. A college student said, “Good idea ni. Dapat ingon ana gyud. Kung low ang prices sa fuel, dapat ubos sab ang minimum fare. Dili pareha karon nga alkanse ang riding public. And very frustrating to have to wait for LTFRB to take action.”

NOT AFTER 48 YEARS. A woman who engages in buy and sell business told The Ear that with this scheme, people can enjoy the benefits of lower fares without having to wait for the slow action of LTFRB. She said, “Dili na ta magsige og hulat sa action sa LTFRB. Automatic na. Kay maabtan ta og 48 years kung maghuwat ta sa LTFRB nga aksiyonan ang kada fare adjustment.”
