Jeepney
Phase Out

What can be the benefits of Jeepney Phase Out? What can be the possible effects of Jeepney Phase Out for drivers,operators and passengers? Let us give you some reason about it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jeepneys had the nickname as "King of the Road". What is Jeepney Phase Out?From the word itself phase out means a modernization and replacing of jeepneys ages 15 and above.But what if the jeepney is still in good conditioned even if it ages already 15 and above?Is it necesary to remove? 


“A transport system with modern and roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe commute for the riding public,” explains former LTFRB Chairman Winston Ginez.

BRIEF HISTORY

Jeepneys (Filipino: Dyipni), sometimes called simply jeeps (Filipino:Dyip) are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. They are known for their crowd seating and kitsch decorations, which have become a ubiquitous symbol of Philippines culture and art. A Sarao jeepney was exhibited at the Philippine pavilion at 964 New Yorks Fair as a national imagas for the Filipinos.

However, LTFRB spokesperson Atty. Aileen Lizada said that the program only aims to “level up the type of jeepneys we have on the road.”
 “Do not believe leaders who say that they will be totally taken out of the road. That is not true. We do not have a phaseout for jeepneys,” Lizada said. The replacement units, which is more efficient and environmentally friendlier, will use electric motors and Euro 4-compliant 30kW AC engines. In addition, the modernized jeeps will have features like a seating capacity of up to 26 persons, side entrance, GPS navigation, and automated fare collection system.
 According to a report by Top Gear Philippines, these modern versions of jeepneys will cost somewhere between P1.2 million and P1.6 million. Meanwhile, the Manila Times estimated the cost to be around P900,000 to P1.3 million. To take out old jeepneys and help drivers have a capital to buy the new ones, Lizada said the DOTr will shoulder the costs of taking them off the road.
 
 For our own opinion, Jeepney Phase Out is not the solution for the traffic. Phase Out is not the solution for traffic. The solution is a proper traffic management and making the drivers discipline. But I can also say that Jeepney Phase Out will also help us to lessen the pollution in the environment.
