'PUVs with matrix can hike fares'

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan: An official of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) in the Ilocos Region on Monday urged commuters to immediately report jeepney and bus drivers who will collect new minimum fares without a fare matrix conspicuously displayed inside their vehicles.

Lawyer Anabel Nullar, LTFRB transportation development office chief, said that jeepney and bus operators should first secure a copy of the fare matrix or 'taripa' from the LTFRB regional office in La Union before charging passengers with the new fare.
