Poe to LTFRB: Require taxi operators
to answer complaints vs drivers ASAP

SENATOR Grace Poe is urging the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to require taxi operators to update their fleet and teach their drivers to be more courteous if they want to compete with ride-sharing vehicles.

Poe, head of the committee on public services, held a hearing on several issues affecting the operation of transport network vehicles (TNVs) like Uber and Grab and regular taxis. The inquiry was also designed to determine how the LTFRB was addressing these concerns.
