With fuel prices expected to increase as an effect of the government’s new tax reform law, Transport company Grab has announced that it wants to increase its fares by around 6 -10%, or roughly Php10USD 0.17INR 14EUR 0.16CNY 1 to Php13USD 0.22INR 19EUR 0.21CNY 2 pesos.
In a report by Inquirer, Grab Philippines head Brian Cu was quoted as saying in a conference that “We will file a petition with the LTFRB (Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to request for a fare change,”
Cu expressed concern that the excise tax on petroleum products would “definitely impact their daily expenses, which would then impact their (the drivers’) monthly earnings.”
He explained that the average Grab driver needs to earn Php3,200USD 55INR 4,623EUR 52CNY 397-3,600 to stay sustainable, and Php900USD 15INR 1,300EUR 15CNY 112-1,100 of that amount accounts for fuel expenses. He then finished by saying that the company will not increase their fares until they see a significant change in fuel prices.

Not a fan of grab as there where already too many ignored bookings. Ina-adapt kasi nila ang TAXI MENTALITY na namimili ng pasahero based on location and destination. I dont care about their promos, I just want to ride going to where I need to be.
