LTFRB plans to ban compact cars, hatchback for Uber and Grab

So basically you need to drive an Innova eh…

anong sinusunod ng mga taxi? eh halos lahat nga taxi eh under 2000cc ang engine.. di less safe ang sub compact kung matino yung driver. pero kung adik ang driver kahit anong sasakyan pa dadalhin nya talagang hindi safe yun.

Engine technology today is so much different 20 years ago. Engine displacement alone cannot be used as a single point of measurement for a car’s performance. In fact, this is a big insult to engine developers who continue to innovate in building smaller engines with big performance yet consume very little gas… just think of VTEC, VVTI, iDSI and other engine innovations in the last 10 years.

Likewise, how fast can one run on today’s roads? OK, let’s look beyond today, do you think all the infrastructure projects of the government will make running on roads faster?

This is a grand scheme to tax people more… cars with bigger engine displacements will consume more gas in the long run… more gas bought means more taxes. Great!!! Only in the Philippines.

Well pwede tama nga naman wala ka nga makikitang taxi na compact at hatchback car, at isa pa mas madalas ako mag book sa mga client ko especially na maraming baggage eh pag na tyempo ka sa mga uber or grab car na compact eh syempre i rereject ko un. Eh prob ito naranasan ko pag madalas k mag cancel eh mapepenalty tyo commuter

Atty Lizada may not know what is 2000-cc displacement. According to the article, sinabi lang nya 2000-cc rated. Hindi nya sinabi kung maximum ba ito or minimum. Now, kung ito ang minimum, dapat pala wala ng pumapasadang taxi at TNV. What I’m trying to point out is, yang si Lizada gusto lang makagawa ng issue by not specifying if the ,2000-cc rated is maximum or minimum. Pero by common sense (yan ang wala si lizada) this should be the maximum. Kasi nga kung minimum, ang mga taxi at TNVs puro naka montero, fortuner, limo and other vehicles with not less than 2liter engine.

Mga hung-hang talaga kyo, LTFRB.

lokolo talaga itong mga brains kono sa ltfrb. engine displacement does not equate to a safe vehicle, period. you have to factor-in the design/construction of the body shell, the performance of the brakes, the presence/absence of abs, etc., and not the least, the condition of the driver. kung ipatupad itong proposal including existing taxis, di ba mawala lahat ang mga taxi, kasi almost all are having less then 2000 cc engines; karamihan ay 1400 cc, 1300 cc, 1200 cc, etc. sa akin, and dapat palitan ay yung mga utak ng mga taga ltfrb na yan.

pang bus na ata yang 2k na cc..laki ng engine nian,saka isa pa baka 10kpl ang kosyumo nian sa gas ahaha baka nga tlga di nia alam kung ano ang displacement engine

Why the ban on these vehicles? Safety, regulations or bureaucracy?

Well I guess is more safe and convenient for the people who uses the service. Some compact cars and hatchbacks offers little leg room for those sitting in the back. The app says that a least 4 people can ride on the regular UberX. With some compact cars it was impossible to accommodate 3 big people in the back seats making it impossible to carry 4 passengers who were too big to fit the small sits of a compact car.

I love Uber is one of the best things ever invented.

This is insane why would they want to do that?
