Jeepney drivers are calling for lower boundary rates after the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board approved a P1 provisional decrease for jeep fares, a report on GMA News TV's “Balitanghali” said Friday.<br /><br />According to the report, the fare rollback resulted in a P200 to P300 reduction in the daily take-home pay of jeepney drivers.<br /><br />Because of this, jeepney drivers are complaining about the rate of their boundary, which is usually at P1,000, and are calling for lower rates.<br /><br />“Titipirin na lang namin [ang kita]. 'Yun na lang ang gagawin kasi wala kaming magawa diyan [sa rollback],” jeepney driver Jerry Balindez said.<br /><br />“Tama lang pambili ng isang kilong galunggong at tsaka dalawang kilong bigas 'yun. 'Yung ginagatas ng anak mo wala na, utang na lang,” another jeepney driver said.<br /><br />Meanwhile, commuters welcomed the jeepney fare rollback.<br /><br />“Maganda 'yun kasi para maka menos kami sa pamasahe sa araw-araw,” one commuter said in the same report.<br /><br />“Dapat magbawas tayo kasi [ng gastusin] ang hirap na ngayon sa work natin. Paano na lang 'yung mahihirap?” another said.<br /><br />Following the rollback, jeepney fare is now at P7.50, down from P8.50, for the first four kilometers. The adjustment was due to a series of rollbacks in the prices of fuel products. <strong>—<a href="http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/archives/authors/andreimedina">Andrei Medina</a>/KBK, GMA News</strong><br />
