LAND Transportation Franchi¬sing and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) director Ariel Inton has asked Transportation and Communications Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya to immediately order a moratorium on Uber taxi applications, or Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS).

“We are flooded with applications that run into thousands while there are about 5,000 Uber taxis operating already. This oversupply has caused a dent on the income of operators and their drivers,” Inton told The Manila Times.
