E-Trike Fares Rise to 30 Pesos in Metro Manila

A Reddit user in Metro Manila is questioning why e-trike fares have increased to 30 pesos, asking whether this is due to colorum (illegal PUV) crackdowns or official fare hikes approved by local government. This affects daily commuting costs for thousands of QC and Metro Manila residents who rely on e-trikes for last-mile connectivity, making it important to understand whether the increase is authorized or exploitative. Standard e-trike fares in Metro Manila typically range from 10-20 pesos for short distances; a 30-peso fare represents a significant increase. Commuters should ask drivers for fare basis and report suspected overcharging to LTFRB or local transport offices.
