Juaymah Maureen Transport has brought up a bad image to many commuters, especially students. One such issue is the illegal increase of the fare upon orders of the bus company management. Based on the blog made by a nursing student, JMT was not included in the present fare hike, thereby charging a higher fare than that of a required fare approved by the LTFRB. It was surprising that the fare matrix the conductor had shown to him was actually a fake one. Until now, most of the conductors are still following rules from the management, though they were actually prohibited by the LTFRB and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to charge illegal fares and to ply on designated routes.
