Hinikayat ni Transportation and Communications Secretary Jun Abaya ang mga taxi operator na sumunod sa agos ng modernong transportasyon.

“People prefer to use these tech-based transport services because they are more convenient. It’s that simple. So my advice to taxi operators: modernize, innovate, and improve your systems and services,” himok ni Secretary Abaya.

“Commuters say they feel safer taking these private vehicles-for-hire, that the fleet are newer, that app services are faster and more efficient. So why put a stop to what is clearly for their benefit? Poorer services should be upgraded to match their competition – not the other way around,”dagdag ni Abaya.

Kasabay nito, pinabibilisan ni Abaya sa Land Transportation Franchising & Regulatory Board (LTFRB) ang paglalabas sa patakaran at panuntunan sa transportation services na gumagamit ng mobile-based apps gaya ng Uber taxi upang hindi maituring na kolurum ang mga ito.
