‘Inaccurate’ article could weaken trust between govt and jeepney sector

I write to call your attention regarding The Manila Times article titled “A four-part plan to solve Metro Manila’s traffic crisis” (“Fast Times,” June 7), where Mr. Greg Lindsay’s article in Popular Mechanics titled  “Can the World’s Worst Traffic Problem Be Solved?” was prominently quoted.

Please find attached the letter I sent to Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Ryan D’Agostino, editor of Popular Mechanics, to correct the gross inaccuracies contained in the article. These inaccuracies threaten to undermine the trust that the Philippine government has been fostering for the past two years with the jeepney sector.
