Abstract

According to the resolution by the LTFRB, public vehicle operators will not be approved for a franchise, extend their Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC), increase of number of vehicles, or substitute their vehicles if their unit is more than the minimum age requirement of fifteen (15) years old from the date of manufacture of the subject vehicle. This initiative is aimed at improving the mode of transportation for commuters while putting the burden on PUV franchise operators. The monthly amortization will be a huge financial challenge since each unit, despite having a low APR and flexible payment term, carries a huge price tag for which small business operators may not be able to afford. The researchers used a descriptive method of research to get the perception of drivers and commuters on the advantages and disadvantages of the jeepney modernization program in Brgy. Greater Lagro Novaliches Quezon City. The researchers utilized questionnaires, interviews, observations and references to gather the needed data. The respondents were described according to different demographic profiles, majority of which were aged 46 years old and above. 70% were male, 66.67% were married, 36.67% were high school graduates, 40% were jeepney drivers and 60% were commuters. In terms of driving experience, 6-10, 11-15, and 16 years above were tied at 30%. Most of the respondents strongly agreed for the income from driving to be sufficient. Most respondents regarded durability of modern jeepneys to be a Very Seriousmatter and have suggested improvements on it. The results of the study can be used in crafting a guide for the implementation of the jeepney modernization program.
