House leader makes case for motorcycle taxi legalization 0 SHARES Share it! “In welcoming a new age of public transportation, this bill seeks to set the groundwork to make motorcycles safe and secure for the riding public and the operators,” said Villafuerte. The DOTr, in turn, is mandated to prescribe the routes and require the establishment of terminals for these motorcycles, Villafuerte said. It also aims to recognize motorcycles-for-hire, also referred to as “habal-habal” or motorcycle taxis, as a legitimate mode of public transportation in the country. Motorcycles-for-hire currently operate in Metro Manila, Cebu and the cities of General Santos and Cagayan de Oro.
