#GrabBike

Grab's motorcycle taxi service, GrabBike, seems to be available in the Philippines once again. Several members of the team appeared to have GrabBike in the list of vehicles that one can book in the Grab app, while others did not have the option. Similar to Angkas and the like, GrabBike lets users book a motorcycle to transport them from one place to another. In 2016, Grab suspended GrabBike per a directive from the LTFRB, citing that motorcycles are an unauthorized mode of public transportation. Since the beginning of February this year, Grab has announced that it is temporarily suspending its GrabBike service after the LTFRB issued a direct order addressed to MYTAXI.PH, Grab's parent company. Although for those wondering if the service is now legal, the company mentions that they are "always in communication with the authorities" as stated in the FAQs section of GrabBike's page. After the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has issued a direct order last week addressed to Grab's parent company, MYTAXI.PH Inc, they have now announced the temporary suspension of GrabBike. Starting today, February 4, GrabBike will halt their services. Read more in our articles including "GrabBike services are available again" and "GrabBike services are once again available".
