This is a good step in the right direction. However, this additional time should be used not only to allow jeepney drivers to consolidate. This period should be used to come up with a better solution to allow our jeepney drivers and owners to continue with their livelihood.

Instead of the proposed phase-out, we need a comprehensive strategy that prioritizes the needs of all Filipinos. This possibly includes:

* Modernizing existing jeepneys: Retrofitting with cleaner engines, promoting cleaner fuels, and improving safety standards.

* Investing in infrastructure: Expanding and improving roads, bridges, and mass transit systems to address congestion and create a well-connected network.

* Developing sustainable alternatives: Encouraging electric and hybrid vehicles, promoting carpooling and cycling, using renewable fuels, and exploring micro-mobility options.
