In response to the appeal of TNVS Community Philippines (TCP), the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will implement a “compensatory adjustment” in pickup fares for Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) from December 20 to January 4.
The agency's decision follows TCP's strong stance against the planned reduction of the surge cap, especially during peak holiday rush when traffic is expected to worsen and lengthen commuter travel times.
According to a TCP issued by spokesperson Lisa Radulla, they are engaged in constant dialogue with regulators and TNCs to promote the welfare of drivers. The group has been active in coordinating with the LTFRB to maintain the implementation of the surge, especially during the agency's consultation last December.
,hindi mare basta na lamang bawasan ang surge – Lalo na sa holiday rush Kung San Malala Aung traffic na nagpahaba ng biahe ng bavat Booking. (This increase cannot be easily mitigated – especially during the holiday rush when traffic is severe, increasing the travel time of every booking),' TCP said.
Compensatory adjustments to pickup fares have long been advocated by the group to balance TNVS drivers' expenses and protect them from losses amid any surge cap cuts. The aim is to ensure that drivers can continue to provide a service to the commuting public this Christmas season.
,nagpapasalamat tayo sa ltfrb Sa pagdinig sa ating hinaing. Gayunpaman, hindi dito ngatatapos ang laban. Information about Kapskuhan, Rin Natin and Hamon Ng on Harpin inflation on tumatas na operating costs Sa Pamamasada.
