Move It said it is working with the government to validate its passenger safety data and other steps necessary to ensure that its app users are protected.
“One of the seven pledges of Move It is that passenger safety is its top priority,” said Wayne Jacinto, general manager of Move It.
“We recognize that in this effort we need to work closely with government regulators, our partner-drivers and our passengers, so we will share any information the Department of Transportation Technical Working Group needs to validate its safety data.”
MoveIT’s statement came after Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief Vigor Mendoza II revealed that the agency was validating the safety data submitted by the three motorcycle (MC) taxi companies involved in the ongoing pilot study.
Jacinto said the transportation company continues to use technology “to improve the user experience, particularly with regard to safety.”
“One of the strengths of Move It app is the ability to closely monitor how our partner-riders drive,” he said.
“With this information, as well as customer feedback, we can monitor the behavior and assess the driving skills of our drivers, and emphasize specific areas for improvement or require additional training,” he said.
The Move It executive noted that the company has a 99.9-percent safety rating, and that it benefits greatly from its technology partnership with Grab.
Grab also operates in Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, and touts a 99.9-percent safety rating in the Southeast Asian region.
