Jeepney is the national vehicle of the Philippines and it has been already a part of the Filipino culture and tradition. It is also the most popular public vehicle for transportation purposes and it has been an iconic symbol in the country for decades.
Previously, a plan of phasing out jeepney vehicles on the roads have been planned by different sectors. Those sectors explained that this vehicle is one of the causes of traffic jam in Metro Manila and they believe that replacing it with an alternative could reduce the traffic problems in the country.
Passenger jeepneys, which are only exposed in the country for 15 years was planning to phase out by Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) last 2015. Phasing out 15-year-old and above public vehicles such as buses and jeepneys, was announced by DOTC, last 2016.
There is already numerous case of jeepney accident happened in the Philippine and passenger’s safety is the main reason of phasing out the iconic vehicle, according to Chairman Winston Ginez.
