MANILA, Philippines - Around 60 units of a taxi company owned by actor and host Luis Manzano joined the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board's (LTFRB) Pink4 Project which prioritizes ride for women, children, senior citizens and persons with disabilities during rush hours.
The LBR Transport Inc., owned and operated by Manzano, is set to hold a motorcade of the pink taxis will this afternoon from the LTFRB's main office at East Avenue to the Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City and return to board’s office to officially launch the project.
The LBR taxis will bear double pink stripes on both sides of the units’ bodies and double pink ? ribbons on their top lights. The drivers will also wear pink shirts with collar.
The taxis will give priority to these passengers in taxi bays at shopping malls and other public places, or when they hail the unit along roads and streets in the metropolis.
?Earlier this week, RRCG Bus Inc. joined the Board’s Pink4 Project by fielding its first pink bus plying the Quiapo-Cainta route to pick up and provide transport only to these special groups from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
