DIGITAL Pinoys on Tuesday opposed cross-membership of riders in motorcycle taxi companies, citing security issues and fewer slots to be given to workers.
“The first question in multi-homing is when an accident happens, who is liable?” Given that they all have their own training, which company will be liable?” Digital Pinoys National Campaigner Ronald Gustilo told reporters on the sidelines of a House of Representatives hearing.
“It is also seen as a threat to the livelihood of other Filipino riders when someone decides to apply with all three,” he added.
There has been a proposal to allow membership in the three accredited motorcycle ride-hailing companies — Angkas, Move It and JoyRide.
“There is a limited number of allocations,” Mr. Gustilo said. “The slot that is supposed to be given to others will be taken by a single rider.” — Justine Irish D. Tabile
