The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board has suspended the operation of three transport network companies (TNCs) for one year due to violations of franchise conditions.
LTFRB chief Vigor Mendoza II said the three TNCs failed to respond to the show cause order issued against them for failure to comply with the rules and regulations governing ride-hailing services in the country.
The firms were identified as Leggo Information Technology Solutions, Get Express Global Corp., and Ipara Technology and Solutions Inc.
“They were given all the chance to respond and explain the violations they committed but they failed to do so. This is what happens when you ignore or disregard legal notices from the LTFRB, you will suffer the consequences of your action,” Mendoza said.
The SCO stemmed from the companies’ lack of active and internet-based digital technology for their partners and clients.
The TNCs failed to respond to the order, prompting the LTFRB to suspend their operation for a year.
“The decision is part of the LTFRB’s authority to regulate public land transportation services and to enforce compliance with its rules and orders, including the authority to suspend or cancel authorizations and impose regulatory measures for the protection of the riding public,” Mendoza said.
