The City Council of Vigan recently approved a one(1) peso rollback of tricycle fares due to the continuous reduction of oil prices worldwide. The approval of Ordinance No. 18 Series of 2008 principally authored by the Committee Chairman on Transportation, Councilor Ever Molina gives the riding public a much needed relief from the spiralling costs of consumer products due to the global recession. Students who attended the public hearing clamored for a two-peso rollback but tricycle drivers and operators appealed that a half-way rate be arrived at in order for them to recover from the high cost of maintenance. The City Council unanimously approved the legislative measure on final reading. It's now only a matter of time before the rollback can be fully implemented
