According to the LTFRB, they’ve lost the accreditation papers of both Uber and Grab, which is […]
The LTFRB is unfazed by the overwhelming public backlash against them Despite the overwhelming negative publicity because of their recent actions against two of the most popular ride sharing apps in the Philippines, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board remains unfazed and tells both Uber and Grab to take their business elsewhere if they […]

This is not an April Fool’s Joke. They’re actually serious. While local arm of the ride-sharing app, Uber, may have their squabbles with cab drivers, it has its eyes set on something very ambitious and it’s coming sooner than you think.
