This month, June, I was able to try this government project called “Jeepney modernization program”.
For those not in the #Philippines, the government is forcing jeepney drivers to buy a mini-bus that most of them can't afford.
It's not really a “Jeepney modernization”, it is a “Jeepney replacement” program.
The mini-buses? They are low quality products. Oftentimes, the mini-bus's airconditioning is broken, or the cooling is.
There are no windows to open either, so you're stuck inside inhaling everyone else's breath, while it's getting hotter and hotter because there's no ventilation.
That's strike two. Definitely not “modernization” because its worse than an open jeepney which provide ventilation.
Luckily, there are still some cities where their LGU is not forcing the drivers to “modernize”. But the question is, how long can LGUs shield them from the National Government?
“Jeepney Modernization Program” is actually “Replace the jeepneys with low-quality mini-buses Program”
