LTFRB starts ID system for cabbies

Janvic Mateo - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) started yesterday the implementation of the mandatory identification (ID) system for taxi drivers in Metro Manila.

LTFRB Chairman Winston Ginez reminded taxi operators to issue IDs to their drivers and submit a list of authorized cabbies to the agency.

Ginez said taxi drivers should display the IDs inside their vehicles where the passengers can easily see their identities.

A fine of P5,000 will be imposed on taxi operators caught violating the order.

The board has issued a memorandum circular for a mandatory ID system for cabbies following a series of robberies involving taxi drivers in the metropolis.

“We need to act to protect the riding public from these criminals disguised as taxi drivers,” Ginez said.

He also noted the rising number of complaints against arrogant and dishonest cabbies.
