On July 19 2018, twenty-five (25) units of brand new modern jeepneys were delivered to the Taguig Transport Service Cooperative and Pateros-Fort Bonifacio Tranport Service Cooperative as part of the government's Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization Program, launched in the previous year. Receiving the units in behalf of the cooperative members were Mr. Freddie Hernandez, Chairman of Taguig TSC, and Mr. Nonito Sinamban, Chairman of Pateros-Fort Bonifacio TSC. The two cooperatives of jeepney drivers and operators were among the first pre-selected cooperatives to embrace the Modernization Plan. Pateros-Fort Bonifacio TSC has a total of 137 approved units by Hino Philippines, and 279 approved units for Taguig TSC. The units will ply the routes of Gate 3 Fort Bonifacio to Guadalupe Market and Bagumbayan-Taguig to Pasig. The 2 gentlemen joined me on live radio and shared their thoughts on their journey to modernization. (July 2018)
