Commuters across Jamaica are digging even deeper into their pockets from today as the full 16 per cent increase in public passenger vehicle (PPV) fares officially takes effect.
The second phase of the Government-approved fare adjustment came into effect on Tuesday, July 1, completing the two-stage increase announced by Transport Minister Daryl Vaz last month.
The first eight per cent increase took effect on June 2, with the remaining eight per cent now added, bringing the total fare adjustment to 16 per cent.
