The third tile retorted to the remark telling commuters to look for other transport since they were “not forced” to endure the long queues.
KAMI EXTENSION DRIVERS
The groups also cautioned that the program would decrease transport supply, with fare-based PUV drivers halting their operations due to skyrocketing fuel prices and commuters more likely to mob the limited “libreng sakay” vehicles. The coalition said that the program would quickly deplete the P7 billion budget of the government’s service contracting program, where public utility vehicle (PUV) operators and drivers were being paid based on their number of weekly trips. Move as One Coalition previously flagged the “Libreng Sakay” program as “short-lived.”
KAMI EXTENSION FREE
While the government offered free bus and jeep rides for a limited time, the comic’s second tile saw the same commuter saying the “Libreng Sakay” service is not a long-term solution to the worsening traffic problems.
Transport groups have since urged the government to focus on public utility vehicles, active mobility and commuters in their bid to improve transportation. This amounted to P70.65 billion or 1.4% of the P5.08 trillion total cost of investments to complete the 119 IFPs. Transport groups have long contended with former President Rodrigo Duterte’s legacy Build, Build, Build project pumping P8 trillion into infrastructure.ĭuring Duterte’s term, infrastructure spending hit a high 5.9% of the gross domestic product (GDP), exceeding the usual 5% of GDP.īut only 12 out of 119 infrastructure flagship projects (IFP) were completed by April this year, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways. In response, the comic’s first tile showed bumper-to-bumper traffic and long passenger queues, where a commuter looked above the empty skyway and asked: “Sino lang ba ang mga nakinabang nito?” READ: Commuters air dismay over ‘libre na may reklamo pa’ post about EDSA bus carousel Pwede namang sumakay sa ibang mode of transportation.” ‘It wastes their time.’ Wala namang pumipilit na yan ang sakyan ninyo. The original tweet reads: “Libre na may reklamo pa.
The commuter’s dialogues also borrowed familiar lines from the viral Twitter post that reacted to a news article on commuters’ lament about longer waiting hours in exchange for the free bus rides.
