The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) should release before the year ends the revised guidelines governing the operation of TNVS (transport network vehicle services) such as Uber and Grab. AdvertisementsThis appeal was made on Monday by Sen. Grace Poe after she received a letter dated September 29 from LTFRB Chairman Martin Delgra 3rd explaining the delay in releasing the revised TNVS guidelines. “In the interest of public service, the LTFRB should release the guidelines before the end of the year, preferably before the holiday rush,” according to Poe, chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Services. Delgra said additional issues were also raised by the TNVS community such as financial assistance, booking fees of TNCs, “dual citizenship” and fare setting. Despite this and other issues, Poe said the LTFRB should complete the revised guidelines at the soonest possible time, having failed to meet its self-imposed deadline.
