Long lines of commuters are seen near the Philcoa area along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City on Thursday, December 14, following the transport strike initiated by PISTON in protest against the government’s December 31 deadline for franchise consolidation and the phaseout of traditional jeepneys.
Earlier this week, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has announced that the deadline for the consolidation of public utility vehicles (PUV) operators would not be extended, aiming to ensure the timely modernization of the country’s transport system.
