LTFRB REDUCE TAXI FLAG-DOWN RATE NATIONWIDE

By: Boylakwatsero on 1:27 AM

LTFRB announces P10 rollback in the flag-down rates for taxis and airport taxis nationwide. Starting Monday, March 9, 2015, flag-down rate for regular taxis at P30 and P60 for airport taxis.

LTFRB Chairman Winston Ginez clarified that as the rollback is only provisional, taxi meters will not be recalibrated to reflect the new rates. As such, the meters would still show P40 (or P70 for airport taxis) as the initial fare. To apply the new provisional rates, taxi drivers would have to manually deduct P10 from the total fare.

The LTFRB advised all passengers to take note of the new rates. The board also warned that taxi drivers who refuse to implement the rollback will be apprehended.
