Last Dec. 29, thousands protested in Manila, too, to call for an extension of the consolidation deadline.<\/p>\n<p>As pointed out by Ibon Foundation, the mass transport crisis will worsen because of the limited number of consolidated PUVs and the lack of a clear government program to deal with the huge gap after the forced consolidation deadline.<\/p>\n<p>But this does not mean that PUV operators who do not want to consolidate should be blamed. As stated in a Senate resolution last year, \u201cthe LTFRB should not coerce PUV operators into complying with their guidelines without addressing the sector\u2019s concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Efficient routes \u2018needed\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Ibon Foundation stressed that even with consolidation, commuting time is also not guaranteed to be shorter, \u201cas the government has been inefficient in planning new routes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As explained by the LTFRB, it has been working on providing rationalized and efficiently planned routes that would be responsive to the demands of the passenger.<\/p>\n<p>Its route rationalization, it said, is a comprehensive and strategic assessment of the current public transport system based on passenger demand, location of major movement and future travel demand patterns.<\/p>\n<p>In his paper \u201cPublic Transport Rationalization as a means to Sustainability,\u201d Dr. Cresencio Montalbo Jr. wrote that each day, 8,959,000 individuals ride public utility jeepneys (PUJ) while 1,865,000 people ride public utility buses (PUB).<\/p>\n<p>Montalbo, who is part of the University of the Philippines\u2019 School of Urban and Regional Planning, said that in Metro Manila, there are 677 PUJ routes with a length of 10.9 kms. There are 82 PUB routes with a length of 36.7 kms.<\/p>\n<p>Montalbo said he wanted to develop an \u201cintegrated public transport system\u201d that would enable the efficient movement of people in Metro Manila through \u201cecologically sustainable travel\u201d that was cost effective.<\/p>\n<p>To have his goal realized, he proposed a \u201c16 mass transit trunk-feeder routes linking areas of highest demand, creating [a] network of transit routes [and] strong interchange between routes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also proposed 59 secondary bus routes that will back mass transit.
