The official minimum fare rates in Dumaguete City puzzled tricycle drivers, operators and passengers, when the approved fare ordinance was returned to the Sangguniang Panlungsod for second reading.

It was returned for second reading because it did not specify the approved minimum fare that is P8, for the first two kilometers with P1 for every additional kilometer. In the SP session Wednesday, authors of the ordinance, Councilors Manny Arbon and Antonio Remollo, , withdrew their sponsorship.

I can't see them getting that right at all. LOL unless like in London they have a fare stage sign every KM or so But............. JP
