It means the initial billing category covers up to two (2) hours; after that, charges shift to the “succeeding hour” rate for each hour beyond the first two hours.
Yes. It provides succeeding-hour rates for each vehicle type, meaning after the first two hours, each additional hour is charged at the corresponding succeeding-hour rate.

It is a uniform amount as stated: Php100.00 for lost ticket, without differentiating by vehicle type.
