The Department of Transportation has ordered the reconstitution of a technical working group on motorcycle taxis, a move that third player Move It called a “win-win solution for commuters and industry drivers.”
According to the order, the TWG shall be composed of the DOTr Assistant Secretary and chief of the Land Transportation Office as chair; a board member of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board as vice chair; and the chief of the Inter-Agency Council for Traffic, chairperson of the Office for Transportation Cooperatives, chief of the LTO-Law Enforcement Staff, chief of the LTFRB Technical Division, and representatives from the DOTr Road Transport and Infrastructure Office, or...
“The reconstitution of the TWG ensures the continuous operation of MC taxis pending enactment of the appropriate legislation legalizing and regulating the MC ride-hailing service in the country,” Move It said. “While we await for that law, it is important that our commuters continue to have access to affordable, safe and faster mode of public transportation that is MC taxi.”
“We earnestly hope that the reconvening of the TWG will provide a stronger basis for the MC taxi to be legalized,” Move It said. “The growing traffic concern calls for various innovative options. In the metropolis, the legalization of MC taxi creates a seamless door-to-door experience for commuters.”
