"We need leaders who will break the cycle of focusing on infrastructure projects intended to benefit only private vehicles while overlooking the needs of commuters, pedestrians, and cyclists," commuter group AltMobility PH said in a statement sent to media earlier.
“One of the things that this crisis has taught us is that mass transport options like jeepneys and buses are essential in our transport system," TPF Convenor Primo Morillo said in the statement.
"We may not have solved all the transport problems in the [past] 6 years. But for the ones we weren t able to do, please also accept that we have addressed many."
"They didn t just fail to resolve our problems in transportation, but they also added to them," LTOP president Orlando Marquez said in Filipino at the press conference, referring to Tugade s term.
