The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) recently accredited 14 new ride-hailing transport network companies (TNCs).
This move comes alongside the renewal of existing licenses for five companies, significantly expanding ride-hailing options for Filipino commuters.
The decision addresses the ever-growing demand for convenient transportation solutions.
The newly accredited companies are Angkas Technologies, Aztech Solution International Corp., Get Express Global Corporation, GoCab Corp., Hail Transport Inc., Leggo Information Technology Solutions, Metrophills Transport Association Inc., Para Xpress Technology Services Inc., Peek Up Philippines Corporation., PureRide Corporation, RL Soft Corporation, Taxsee Philippines Inc., Unified Transport Operations League Corp., and UNLA LA Corporation.
Meanwhile, these companies were granted renewed accreditation: Cloud Panda PH Inc., E-Pick Me Up Inc., Grab Philippines, Hirna Mobility Solutions Inc., and Joyride E-Commerce.
The LTFRB emphasizes its commitment to passenger safety and service quality by closely monitoring all TNCs for compliance with regulations.
Commuters can expect to see the new TNCs appear on their ride-hailing apps in the coming weeks. This expansion hopefully addresses common pain points experienced by Filipino commuters, such as competitive fares, shorter waiting times, and wider service coverage.
