Mati City releases new tricycle fare guidelines

DAVAO ORIENTAL, Apr. 6 (PIA) -- The City Government of Mati has issued a new set of tricycle fare guidelines due to the increase in gasoline prices over the past weeks.

Under the City Ordinance No. 527 Series of 2022 or the "Ordinance Imposing the Regulation of Fare and Motorized Tricycle-for-Hire in the City of Mati," the minimum fares are peg on the prevailing fuel prices.

If the gasoline prices would hover at P40.00 to P49.99 per liter the minimum fare would be pegged at P9.00. If fuel prices are at P50.00 to P69.99/liter, minimum fare would be at P12.00

The current minimum fare is now P14.00 as the price of gasoline is between P70.00 to P89.99 per liter.

If the gasoline increase would go from P90.00 to P99.00/liter, the minimum fare will be P15.00.

The price of gasoline is not the only indicator of the passenger's fare. The destination also matters and the mutual agreement of both the driver and the commuter, as detailed in Section 3 of the said ordinance.

The students, senior citizens, and differently-abled passengers are still entitled to their 20% discount.

The drivers and operators of these motorized tricycles-for-hires may secure their copies of the new fare tariffs at the City Tricycle Franchising Office for only P50.00

The operator and the driver may face consequences for not putting the new fare tariffs in their tricycles visible to their commuters and for asking for the new fares without having the said copies of the new fare tariffs in their vehicles.

The fine for the violation stated above will be P500.00.

The ordinance was passed and was made effective on March 21, 2022. (PIA XI/Ezri Coda Jr. with reports from CIO-Mati)
