On Wednesday, the LTFRB warned new TNC Arcade City to cease operations after it offered itself as an “alternative” to Uber. LTFRB board member Aileen Lizada told reporters that Arcade City is “not authorized” by the agency to operate as a TNC as it “has not coordinated” with them. ADVERTISEMENT“They have not yet been accredited by the LTFRB,” Lizada said of Arcade City, adding that all of its cars are “colorum,” or operating without a valid franchise. In a subsequent statement, the LTFRB told the new TNC to “stop all bookings made” through its app. That is wrong—and Arcade City will do whatever we can to fix it,” he added.
