Drivers of public utility jeeps were reminded Saturday to give students a 20-percent fare discount, when school starts this coming Monday.
Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board chairman Winston Ginez issued the reminder in an interview on dzBB radio.
But Ginez also said the fare discount applies only from Mondays to Fridays when there are classes.
Ginez also warned drivers against immediately charging the new fares that the agency approved on Friday for Metro Manila and Central and Southern Luzon.
The LTFRB had approved a 50-centavo minimum fare hike for jeeps effective June 14.
On the other hand, Ginez said drivers cannot charge the new rates without getting the new fare matrix. — Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
