Tricycle groups in Metro Manila are protesting the rapid expansion of motor taxis in Central Luzon and CALABARZON, claiming it's harming their livelihoods.
TRICYCLE groups in Metro Manila on Wednesday complained about the increasing number of motor taxis in Central Luzon and CALABARZON without public consultation s. At a Quezon City news conference, Ariel Lim, National Confederation of Tricycle Operators (NPTC) president, urged the government to arrest the expansion of motor taxis across the country, saying the operation of tricycles is badly affected.
\'We were taken aback that there are 2,500 units per company operating in Region 3, and 8,000 others in Region IV-A. Motor taxi operators have shifted to these regions because there is a filed petition stopping the increase in Metro Manila,’ he told reporters. ‘Trike operators and drivers can foresee that they might have loss of income this Christmas,’ he said. The NPTC and the National Confederation of Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines, however, clarified that they are not against the motor taxi operation, saying that what they are asking for is to stop the increase in number of motor taxis operating in various parts of the country. ‘Let us respect our appeal. Tricycle drivers are no longer earning because those motor taxi drivers can directly pick up their passengers inside villages,’ Lim said
