IN PHOTOS: Day 2 of Transport Protest along Aurora Blvd.
Members of Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operators Nationwide (Piston) Transport and other groups on Oct. 17 gather on Aurora Boulevard, Quezon City to protest the jeepney modernization program of the government.
The strike is an expression of disapproval by transport operators on the government’s plan to phaseout and replace “Kings of the road” with modern jeepneys that cost 1.6 million – 1.8 million pesos.
The protest on Aurora Boulevard in Cubao is part of the two-day nationwide transport strike that resulted in the suspension of government works and classes in all levels.
