The operation of motorcycle taxis should be legalized to open the industry to more players for the benefit of the commuting public, Grab Philippines stated Thursday, Nov. 24.
Grab issued the statement following a House Committee on Metro Manila Development public hearing where regulators, lawmakers and transport stakeholders tackled proposals surrounding the safety and efficiency of motorcycle taxis.
“Putting in place a law is the win-win solution for all stakeholders, particularly our commuters who deserve an efficient and safe form of public transportation,” Grab maintained. Atty. Ann Albana, legal counsel for Move It, assured committee members and stakeholders that the motorcycle ride-hailing company “will still be under the supervision of the MC Taxi TWG, and it will continue to abide by MC Taxi Guidelines, especially on the safety and welfare of the consumers.”
