LTFRB revokes 2 TNCs’ authority to operate due to violations

MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) on Sunday said it revoked the authority to operate and the renewal of application of two transport network companies (TNCs) over failure to meet certain requirements. 

According to the LTFRB, the Leggo Information Technology and Aztech Solutions International Corp. were not able to abide by the conditions set in providing a platform for transport network vehicle service.

The agency noted that investigations conducted proved reports that the two TNCs were no longer operating.

“The granting of the Certificate of Accreditation comes with a responsibility, an obligation and a commitment to provide the best services to the commuting public. That’s one of the conditions that must be strictly followed,” LTFRB acting chairperson Greg Pua said.

“When rules are violated, that’s when accountability begins like in the case of these two TNCs,” he added. 

The LTFRB also said that the two TNCs were penalized with cancellation and revocation of their Certificate of Accreditation after they failed to provide valid reasons over the administrative issues raised by the agency.

The application for the renewal of their Certificate of Accreditation was also revoked for failure to comply with the agency’s requirements.

“PUV operation is a tough competition. There are operators who are more responsible and are ready to provide the kind of public transportation services that the Filipino people deserve,” Pua said.  /gsg
