The House of Representatives approved a measure to legalize the operations of Angkas, a motorcycle ride-hailing service. According to a report by Manila Bulletin, during the Congress' Wednesday session, they passed the "Motorcycles-for-Hire Act" or House Bill 8959, which authorizes the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to legalize the operations of motorcycles as public utility vehicles (PUV). Previously, the LTFRB denied Angkas to operate, citing that the agency holds no authority to grant certificates of public conveyance to operators. Measures seeking to legalize Angkas operations followed soon after LTFRB's decision. Angkas will officially resume its operations tomorrow, November 25 at 6 AM. After months of suspension due to lockdowns, Angkas is now allowed to resume its operations in Metro Manila. Check out the following safety reminders: • Angkas will only accept payments through cashless transactions (credit/debit card). • Angkas' Passenger Shields are designed to prevent viral transmission even on a motorcycle.
