Sad announcement to all commuters. Effective May 21, 2008. Jeepney fare in Metro Manila will increase by P0.50. This means the jeepneys will charge each passenger P8.00 for the first four kilometers. It seems that the P20 that will be granted to workers would be reduced by this additional burden to our pockets. A short computation, the P20 per day multiply by 26 working days will give us P540 but since this is subject to income tax, the take home amount would be less. I guess most of us would save a bit by walking a few blocks if possible.
