The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Friday reminded players in the Motorcycle Taxi Pilot Study Program, the government-backed study for the viability of motorcycle taxis as a mode of public transport, to refrain from overcharging passengers.
According to the LTO, the reminder stemmed from complaints from commuters regarding motorcycle riders who charge excessive rates even for short distances.
For their part, the three MC taxi pilot participants said they will not allow their riders to overcharge passengers. LTO chief Assistant Secretary Jose Arturo Tugade also warned unauthorized riders who offer “habal-habal” rides that they may be charged with colorum violation. “There is no law that authorizes, recognizes, and regulates ‘habal-habal’ to be a mode of public transportation so what they are doing is illegal," he said in a statement.
Tugade also urged the public to refrain from taking “habal-habal” rides and to report these immediately to the LTO.
