LTFRB implements ‘compensatory adjustment’ in pickup fares following call from TNVS group

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will implement a “compensatory adjustment” in the pickup fares for Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) from Dec. 20 to Jan. 4, in response to the appeal of the TNVS Community Philippines (TCP).

The agency’s decision follows TCP’s strong stance against the planned reduction of the surge cap, especially during the peak holiday rush when traffic is expected to worsen and lengthen commuter travel times.

According to a TCP released by Spokesperson Lisza Redulla, they continuously engage in dialogue with regulators and TNCs to promote the welfare of drivers. The group has been active in coordinating with the LTFRB to maintain the implementation of the surge, particularly during the agency’s consultation last December.
