LTFRB wants to increase Taxi fares to align with Uber

LTFRB has “unanimously agreed” to increase taxi fares, making it “at par” with the rates of transport network company Uber as stated earlier today by Chairman Martin Delgra III.

Uber implements its pricing based on the distance and duration of the passenger’s ride. In the application, it states that “traffic, weather or any factors that extend the distance or duration of the ride can contribute to a difference between the estimated and actual fare.”

So they are also looking into these factors to increase the taxi fares.

During the Senate finance committee hearing on the proposed 2018 budget for the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Delgra said the following statements:

“Ang gagawin, we will try to make it at par with TNVS (transport network vehicle services) or more particularly with the Uber system kasi nade-dehado daw mga taxi drivers ngayon.”

“Ang gagawin na namin ng Board, we have already agreed unanimously, we are going to do it on a running time rate so aside from the distance travelled, meron na ring papasok on the time travel.”

“We are trying to fast track that. We understand fully well the basic problem of taxi operators, the underutilization of taxi units kasi walang taxi driver na magtatrabaho pagta-taxi.”
He said an increase in taxi fares would hopefully solve the problem of “underutilization” of out taxi cabs.

I personally don't know what factors they have considered to unanimously arrive at this decision but I feel that this is not for the better. The taxi fares are high enough as it is and increasing the meter rate might force the public to fully lean on utilizing Uber or Grab for better value of their money.

How about you guys? What do you think?

  3. Cheating is an act that I believe most men can not do without because of their inconsideration and lack of strength and will to keep their pants up As a woman and someone that happens to always commit myself to my relationships I have been heartbroken quite a few times by cheating partners but in my last relationship I devised that I had heard enough and badly needed to catch my husband in the act after using mspy and i realized i need more information I searched around and this name nineplanethacker via Gmail kept on coming up by ex-clients who gave awesome recommendations so I immediately reached out to him and decided to give a try to get the heavy burden of suspicion off my mind. I never knew that a phone could be cloned/hacked without having physical access with it! Thank you ! nineplanethacker that i contacted via their G-mail
