- you get a franchise first with LTFRB
- get a meter, register the meter too with LTFRB.
- then convert the registration of the car as PUV sa LTO

not sure how difficult or easy it will be. di ko din alam ang costs.

hanap ka rin ng honest driver.
yung iba kasi, unti-unting binebenta ang mga piyesa ng oto sa banaue/evangelista para magka-pera, sabay resign.

other options:
rent-a-car / school service

goodluck po!

1.5k-1.8k ang rate nyan per day.

bad time for a taxi business. punta ka sa garage ng EMP taxi dami dun naka-stack na units kasi wala na maglabas na drivers. everytime i pass by their garage (along seminary road, quezon city) e puno ng taxis.

the taxis you see on the roads now are only those with very low boundaries and they are also LPG. isa pa yan na dapat i-consider mo, conversion of the vios to LPG. pag gasoline ang taxi mo kahit magmakaawa ka sa driver di yan ilalabas kasi lugi sila wala na sila kikitahin maghapon.

last time we applied for a taxi franchise (more than 10 years ago) we spent 20k, all legal steps no "palakad" or fixers. ang alam ko mas mahirap kumuha ng franchise ngayon.
