Transport strike harms commuters

The two-day citywide transport strike by the transport groups PISTON and MANIBELA in opposition to the Public Transport Modernization Program (PUTMP) created hardships for commuters in the Philippines.
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) reported that the strike was fruitful while dismissing its impact on things.
if the government stopped teaching and closed certain government offices without cheating. By threatening to withdraw their franchises and making it difficult for them to register their vehicles, the strikers also attempted to prevent non-participating jeepney drivers from operating their routes.
As they maintained that only Congress has permission to terminate the franchises, PISTON is requesting that the five-year permits be distributed back to the jeepney operators.
The PUTMP will keep going, according to the Department of Transportation (DOTr), and 83% of consolidated public utility vehicles (PUVs) are plenty to accommodate commuters. We’re still working with local governments to revamp the route distribution.
DOTr claimed that until the group dictates that obsolete jeepneys be replaced with updated models, it will take between two to three years.
By the Land Transportation Office, those who prefer not to take part in the program can register their traditional jeepneys as private motorists.

PISTON presented an application to the Supreme Court to settle its request for a temporary restraining order against the PUTMP. At 3 p.m., government offices and aware classrooms were closed. over the Family Week celebration, and the disruption caused complications for commuters at Manila City Hall.
