“We pay, but
why is it they don’t let us take a ride?”
This was the question of a disappointed lady at the
Yes FM News Center on Wednesday morning, February 26.
She was complaining about tricycle drivers that do
not give young students a ride on the tricycle they are driving.
According to the lady, they had flagged down about
five (5) tricycles in the span of more or less half an hour, however, tricycle
drivers allegedly choose passengers.
The lady added she got worried that her children
would be late for school.
Moreover, she appealed to tricycle drivers to do
their obligation and not choose passengers.
Meanwhile, Boracay Land Transport Multi-Purpose
Cooperative (BLTMPC) General Manager, Ryan Tubi admitted the practice of
tricycle drivers.
In a text message, Tubi said tricycle drivers and
even owners of tricycles had been peppered with seminars but some had not
mended their ways.
According to Boracay PNP Chief PS Inspector, Mark
Evan Salvo, the matter will be included in the briefing of policemen to be
deployed at the Main Road so that such drivers will be reminded of their
obligation.
Salvo also persuaded the public to bring such
concerns about tricycle drivers who chose, or do not take passengers to their
station for proper action.
