                    [Summary] => BACOLOD CITY — The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has reimposed the old fare for public utility jeepneys (PUJs) in Negros Occidental after both the drivers and the riding public protested its May 24 order setting P5.50 for the first four kilometers, or an increase of P1.50.


LTFRB chairman Ma. Elena Bautista ordered the rollback to the previous fare of P4 for the first five kilometers pending the imposition of a new rate for the province.

                    [Summary] => BACOLOD CITY — Drivers of public utility vehicles in Negros Occidental will stage a transportation strike today to protest the oil price hikes and to demand an increase in fare and workers’ wages.


However, unlike their counterparts in Metro Manila who failed to muster support in last week’s strike, the United Negros Drivers and Operators Center spokesman expressed confidence that they will be able to paralyze transportation in Bacolod and the whole province.
