Malacañang backs move to ban ‘riding in tandem’

Malacañang is open to the possibility of banning motorcycle ride sharing, also known as riding-in-tandem, on the streets of Manila.

The move to ban the practice came in the wake of a spate of crimes, mostly killings, carried out by men riding motorcycles in tandem. The proposal reportedly came from officials in a bid to deter crime in Metro Manila.
