The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has intervened in app-based taxi pricing, establishing a maximum booking fee of P60. This decision follows reported inconsistencies and complaints from passengers regarding fluctuating and often excessive charges. The new regulation caps booking fees at 20% of the total fare, but prioritizes the P60 limit if that figure is lower. The LTFRB aims to provide fairer and more predictable costs for commuters utilizing ride-hailing services. This measure seeks to address concerns about transparency and affordability within the app-based taxi sector. The regulation is expected to impact major ride-hailing companies operating in the Philippines. Further details on implementation and enforcement will be announced by the LTFRB.
