DOTr to Dispatch Over 200 Modern Passenger Jeepneys


Wazzup Pilipinas!

In line with its efforts to provide a safe, comfortable, efficient and environment-friendly public transport, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) will be conducting the Dispatch of Modern Public Transport Vehicles: Pasada Tungo sa Maunlad na Bansa tomorrow, July 20, 2018, at the Quirino Grandstand in Ermita, Manila.
Over 200 modern public utility jeepney (PUJ) units will be readily available for dispatch to operators with franchises validated by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).
The modern jeepney conforms with the existing environmental and product standards set by the Bureau of Standards. It has side doors instead of rear doors, and a higher ceiling that allows for standing passengers, which translates to a higher carrying capacity. Emergency exits are mandated and some units will have provisions for differently-abled passengers, coupled with WiFi, GPS, CCTVs, dash camera, speed limiter and automatic fare collection system.
As compliance to the Clean Air Act of 1999, the modern jeepney will either have a Euro-4 compliant emission system or an electric-powered motor that will generate less pollution or none at all.






Class 1, 2, and 3 jeepneys will be available for dispatch. Class 1 will have 9 to 22 passenger capacity including the driver; Class 2 will carry 22 passengers and will allow for standing passengers to augment the driver’s income; Class 3 will likewise likewise have 22 passengers and above plus driver, but will be all seated.  
DOTr Secretary Arthur P. Tugade, who will lead the modern jeepney dispatch with Usec. for Road Tim Orbos and LTFRB Chairman Martin Delgra III, said the modernization of jeepneys is long overdue.

“Napapanahon nang magkaroon ang publiko ng hindi lang ligtas kundi komportable at kaaya-ayang pampublikong transportasyon. Kung kayoĆ½ papipiliin, saan niyo ba mas gustong sumakay: sa karag-karag na jeepney na itim na usok ang ibinubuga, o sa mas modernong jeep kung saan makauupo kayo ng komportable at batid ninyong ihahatid kayo sa inyong paroroonan nang ligtas at hindi nakadaragdag sa polusyon?” he said.

The transportation chief likewise mentioned that there are financing schemes available to operators and drivers to help them pay for the cost of the modern jeepneys. Undersecretary Tim Orbos explained the financing rates are affordable with a “5-6-7-80,000” formula, which stands for an easy down payment, very low interest rates, payability in seven years, and PhP80,000 government subsidy.

For his part, Usec. for Road Tim Orbos urged drivers and transport operators to be open to developments and embrace the PUV modernization. 

“Para din naman ito sa ating lahat. Kailangan tayo ay pasulong at hindi paurong upang umunlad. Eventually everyone will get tired of riding the dilapidated jeepneys that are hazards on the road, because we all know we deserve better and there are better options out there. Hindi naman sila pababayaan ng gobyerno,” Usec. Orbos assured. 
The DOTr plans to replace all public utility vehicles (PUV) aged 15 years or older under its PUV Modernization Program (PUVMP). 

The PUVMP was first launched in Tacloban City, Leyte, in January where it initially deployed 45 solar-powered jeepneys. In June, 15 out of 35 modern PUJ units of the Senate Employees Transport Service Cooperative were rolled out and started to ply the route of StarCity/CCP to PICC, GSIS/Senate to MOA to PITX and back. Just this week, two transport cooperatives launched their PUV Modernization Program-compliant jeepneys to ply new routes along Taguig and Pateros. The Taguig Transport Service Coop PUVs are plying the Bagumbayan (Taguig) to Pasig route via San Joaquin, while the Pateros-Fort Boni Transport Coop PUVs’ route is from Gate 3 of Fort Bonifacio to Guadalupe Market (ABC).

6. Segment your Social Media activities
One of the most ideal touches you can give your works is to arrange them in proportions. Check out what to post on which social media domain. Never try to post everything on a single platform in case you’re holding a few multiple accounts. Similar to the 4th heading articulated here. Check out how you can create partitions of your single post and then try to publish them separately on various platforms to bring about a particularly intrinsic target audience on your platform.
For example:
You saw an ice cream cone shared by Instagram themselves on their app, and suddenly a #BaskinRobbins hashtag. Soon, you’re on the Facebook page of the popular BR ‘ice cream and cape specialty.’ Next you saw a tweet when going on for the search on Twitter. Henceforth, definitely something big brands do to bring close those people who’re really up for their product intakes.
7. Marketing with Digital tools and trends
Similar to a web browser add-ons, these marketing tools give you a hyper-active presence on social media with an adventurers’ entrance boost. A few tools are as follows:

  • Hootsuite - Another popular social media scheduler.
  • Social Clout - A social media analytics tool that lets you know which posts are getting the most engagement. Favorable days for posting on specific social media outlets, types of posts promising on different platforms, and so on.
  • Crowdfire - A tool for Instagram to ‘Unfollow’ those who’re not following you. Very stable and quite fast in the process.
  • Grum - One of the most popular Instagram posts’ scheduler.
  • Ink361 - An excellent tool for Geotagging your posts on Instagram.
  • Iconosquare - An Instagram analytics tools letting you know what #hashtag trends are hot cakes to use.
Furthermore, there are lots of articles and blogs related to what social media platform performs resourcefully with certain marketing tools to keep your online endeavors running industriously.
8. Consider the vitality of audio-visual continuum
There’s big no-no if you’re looking for a win-win situation over the digital globe without posting any videos. You should definitely be posting some great videos on your money-spinning social media accounts. I recommend that you make a YouTube channel and post a few videos before trying to make a Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter account.
Besides, there are tons of tutorials you can watch on YouTube on how to make your own videos. To make it look more perceptible, there are tons of video editing tools you could consider using:
  • Viva Video maker.
  • Horizon Camera.
  • Adobe Premiere Clip.
  • SloPro.
  • Videoshop.
  • Cameo.
  • Magisto.
9. Engage with the general public on Social Media
Never try to utter that you’re a self-made person. There are a few oddballs that come up with breakthroughs. But on social media, there’s not a single self-made personality I know. Even if there is, either he’s Einstein from the head OR Elon Musk in his dreams. Even these guys were related to science and technology and without these they were nothing.

Therefore, try to talk to your audiences and give them enough space to express themselves right on your social media platform. Giving freedom of choice online is another factor that drives lots of consumers drive towards a specific product, service, or a brand. Surprisingly, even jokes and memes can work wonders for you if you got those conversation skills. Engage with your devoted aficionados before going for a lucrative post declaration.
10. Collaborate Social Media and Societal Moments
One of the most appealing ways to get yourselves a headway on social media is to go for a twofold storytelling together with posting your business dealings. We have seen many brands take on the retro-vintage gains, environmental settings, exotic places of the world, abstract art, trending scenarios, etc., and post them with their main branded stuff.
Hence, staying in focus with both communities and commercial backgrounds give an excellent evidence of your sheer presence of mind. In simple words, have a laid-back approach when you want yourself a rewarding career online.
The above are some great proven social media escalating outlooks you can consider applying to your businesses. We guarantee you’ll be successful on a long-term run.
