What happened
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) approved fare increases for public utility vehicles (PUVs) operating in Metro Manila. The increases were implemented starting September 28, 2026, after the LTFRB lifted the suspension on previous approvals. The minimum fare for jeepneys increased from P13 to P14, while modern jeepneys now charge a minimum of P17. Ordinary bus fares also saw adjustments, starting at P15 for the first five kilometers.

Why it matters
The fare hikes reflect the operational cost increases faced by public utility providers due to rising global oil prices. The LTFRB made these adjustments across various transport services in the region.
