QC commuters unaffected by jeepney strike
Commuters in Quezon City were not affected by the 3-day transport strike called by jeepney group PISTON starting yesterday.
This was after other jeepney associations not affiliated with PISTON continued to play their routes saying they they would rather work to earn a living.
By noontime, jeepneys plying the Novaliches to Blumentritt and vice versa route continue to ferry passengers to and from their destinations.
Whether traditional or modern jeepneys, one can find their way to ride. This was also observed in East Avenue to Philcoa routes where jeepneys are also abound.
