Metro Cebu commuters assured of transport amid strike

CEBU CITY: The Federation of Modern Jeepney Operators’ Cooperatives in Metro Cebu assured there would be no disruption of mass transportation on Tuesday amid the continuation of the transport strike.

Ellen Maghanoy, chair of the Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives, on Monday said franchise owners consolidated under different coops will deploy more than 1,000 units of modern jeepneys until Wednesday.

Maghanoy said Cebu People’s Cooperative alone has 250 units.

Apart from the modern jeepneys, Maghanoy said consolidated traditional jeepneys in Central Visayas will augment modern units.

‘If transport groups which are against the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) will hold a strike, we, the owners of modern jeepneys, will surely benefit from it,’ Maghanoy told the Philippine News Agency.

Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board-7 Director Eduardo Montealto Jr. said Piston (Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide) did not hold any picket rally or transpo
rt strike in Cebu on Monday.
