Twenty more modern jeepneys will start serving passengers in the City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan.
Nasrudin Talipasan, regional director of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), said the Sapang Palay Grotto Transport Service Cooperative (SPGTSC) launched the brand new and modern YouYi ZGT 6540 public utility jeepneys (PUJs) to ply the Grotto-Sapang Palay via Tungko Mangga route.
“The launching of the modern units is a manifestation that the cooperative is one with the government in the implementation of the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program.”
“The launching of the modern units is a manifestation that the cooperative is one with the government in the implementation of the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP),” Talipasan explained.
City Mayor Arthur Robes lauded the members of the SPGTSC for their initiative to ensure reliable and safe public transportation in the city.
“Ang programang ito ay hindi lang pagpapakita na ang ating lungsod ay patungo sa pagiging progresibo.”
“Ang programa natin na gawing moderno ang lahat ng pampublikong transportasyon ay naging matagumpay, kaya naman ang iba’t ibang mga transport cooperative sa ating lungsod ay talagang sumusunod sa mandato na ito ng ating national government. Ang programang ito ay hindi lang pagpapakita na ang ating lungsod ay patungo sa pagiging progresibo bagkus gusto natin bigyan ng komportableng eksperyensya ang ating mga kababayang San Joseño,” Robes said.
The SPGTSC is the eighth transport cooperative in the City of San Jose del Monte to comply with the government’s transport modernization program.
The PUVMP is the flagship transport project of the Duterte administration being implemented through the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
It aims to make public transportation safer and more comfortable, and to lessen the environmental pollution caused by worn-out and smoke-belching utility vehicles.
