Press Release May 23, 2018 GRACE POE ON LRT1 FARE HIKE PETITION While the concession agreement provides for a CPI-based fare adjustment, the DOTr and the LRT board may also consider further delaying or instead effecting a staggered implementation of any fare hike to soften the impact on poor commuters who have been hit by the adverse effect of the TRAIN law to their shallow pockets. This could be considered while the discussions on suspending some portions of the TRAIN law are ongoing. |
