Quezon City के क्षेत्रीय सत्र न्यायालय ने फ़िलिपींस में Uber और GrabCar की गतिविधियों को रोकने के लिए अस्थायी रोक का आदेश दिया है।
20-दिन का ट्रो (TRO) को क्वींस टाउन सिटी एआरटीओसी ब्रांच 217 ने परिवहन गठबंधन एसटीपी एंड गो, इंक. द्वारा दायर याचिका के अनुसार जारी किया, जो परिवहन नेटवर्क वाहन सेवा (टीएनवीएस) को देश में चलाने की अनुमति देने वाले डीडीटीओ और एलटीएफआरबी के आदेशों का विरोध करता है।
UPDATE: The TRO on Uber and GrabCar only covers new applicants for the next 20 days. The current fleet will operate as normal.
"Napakalaking epekto nito sa hanapbuhay ng mga miyembro namin na taxi driver at UV Express. Itong Uber at Grab, wala naman itong franchise," Stop & Go Coalition president Jun Magno told dzMM.
Magno also told GMA News that Uber and Grab is wrong because not having a franchise is against the law, and they are charging passengers without following the tariff issued by the LTFRB.
UPDATE: GrabTaxi Philippines has issued a statement regarding the TRO on GrabCar:
They don’t have the right to complain specially those taxi drivers na mas maarte pa sa maarte. GrabCar and Uber is not just an alternative anymore as they provide services better than the taxis and despite the high prices during peak hours you don’t hear the passengers complain at all. Kung gusto nila kumita, do their job properly, these services arent to blame for their irresponsibility. Kasalanan ng mga taxi driver kung di sila kumikita, magpaskay kayo if you want to earn and that’s your freaking job for crying out loud.
