Iloilo / Region VI PUV Fares (LTFRB) — jeepney & modern PUV
The public utility vehicle fares in force in Iloilo / Region VI: the traditional-jeepney and modern-PUV minimum fares, from the national LTFRB authorization applied uniformly across the country. Iloilo has no distinct fare matrix — LTFRB Region VI applies the national order. The 2023 matrix is still current: a March 2026 increase was approved then suspended before it took effect and remained suspended as of August 2026.

NATIONAL ORDER APPLIED IN ILOILO; NO DISTINCT ILOILO MATRIX. The ₱13 traditional-jeepney and ₱15 modern-PUV minimum fares are the national LTFRB levels in force since October 2023 and remain current as of 2026-09-04: a March 2026 increase to ₱14 / ₱17 was approved then suspended by the President before its 2026-03-19 effectivity, and DOTr confirmed on 2026-08-06 that it stays suspended. Pages listing ₱14 / ₱17 as current are wrong. Metered taxis are uncommon in Iloilo and no Metro Iloilo taxi flagdown/per-km matrix distinct from the national one was found, so none is published (a documented gap, not a derived figure). The exact LTFRB Memorandum Circular number of the October 2023 order was not pinned. The beep card is a stored-value payment card, not a fare.

Provenance & limitations
Source. National LTFRB provisional fare (Oct 2023), applied by LTFRB Region VI; suspension of the 2026 hike confirmed via GMA News . Method. Transcribed from the national LTFRB fare authorization as reported by named primary outlets, applied in Region VI, dated to the effective month. One row per fare matrix. A suspended proposal is not seeded as a fare.
Known limitations — published as a feature, not a footnote:
- Iloilo has no distinct fare matrix; these are the national LTFRB levels applied by LTFRB Region VI.
- No Metro Iloilo taxi flagdown/per-km matrix distinct from the national one was found, so none is published — a documented gap.
- The exact LTFRB Memorandum Circular number of the October 2023 order was not pinned; confidence on the ₱13 / ₱15 minimums is high, on the MC number medium.
- One fare matrix on record; the next row is a new LTFRB authorization that actually takes effect, not a suspended one.
