LPCRTODA starts fare hike

LPCRTODA President Rene Silva executed the fare increase of trycycle from 12 peseos to 14 pesos due to the consecutively increse in crude oil,the said fare increase will be implemented on Aug. 19, Monday.

Silva said that the fare hike is due to the present oil price hike. “Eh sa patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng langis, nagdisisyon ang toda na taasan ang presyo ng pamasahe mula sa dose (12) pesos magiging katorse(14) pesos na. Nagcome up kame sa ganto kasi nahihirapan na ang mga drayber eh. Ang pagtaas ng pamasahe ay mararanasan mula ngayon," added Silva.

Sammy Beliver, one of LPCRTODA's drivers, the breadwinner in the family said that this is an advantage for him. “Ok lang samin ang pagtaas ng pamasahe. Kami kasi lugi eh. Naghahanapbuhay lang naman kame. Wala naman sa kamay namin ang pagtaas ng langis eh. Kaya ngayong tataas na pamasahe, ok na kasi masmalake na ang kikitain namin,” said Beliver.

However, the regular passengers said that this is not fair for them. “Syempre hindi yun ok sakin kasi nababawasan yung baon ko eh sapat lang naman yun para sa mga ginagastos ko araw araw papuntang school."

Last week, oil companies hiked the prices of gasoline, diesel and kerosene products, citing the increasing oil prices in the world market.
