The Land Transportation and Regulatory Board said Thursday the Court of Appeals Cebu City dismissed the petition of Metro Cebu Taxi Operators Association Inc. to stop the operation of transport network companies and transport network vehicle services in Metro Cebu.
LTFRB said the appellate court’s Cebu station issued a 12-page resolution stating there was no clear and apparent reason to question the directives of the LTFRB, in relations to TNCs and TNVS.
“We are pleased with the decision of Court of Appeals of Cebu City in dismissing MCTOA’s petition since we believe there is no legal infirmity for TNVS operating on provisional authority pending issuance of their franchise,” outgoing LTFRB chairman Winston Ginez said.
The operations of TNVS were regulated by LTFRB through memorandum circular orders issued in May 2015, setting specific guidelines, policies, regulations that ensure all TNVS and TNCs must secure the required CPCs before they can offer their services.
