Unconsolidated jeepneys are now deemed colorum after the consolidation of public utility vehicles into cooperatives closed on Wednesday.“Yes, considered colorum ang hindi nakapag-consolidate. Hindi sila illegal unless pumasada sila,” Department of Transportation spokesperson Jonathan Gesmundo told GMA News Online in a message.“Bibigyan sila ng due process: show cause order bakit hindi nag-consolidate. Kapag pumasada pa rin, saka huhulihin. Wala hulihan bukas,” he added.
“Dahil ang jeep po ay poor man's vehicle, ibig sabihin yung mga Pilipino na nagtitipid, mga walang pera, jeep talaga ang pangunahing sinasakyan. So ibig sabihin, mas maraming kababayan natin ang mas mahihirapan,” he said in an interview.Aside from this, Javellana urged the government to provide a guarantee that minimum fare in jeepneys will not increase amid reports that it may soar to around P30 to P40.
