Thought of this thread when I was sitting on the back of an Adventure going home. My knees & feet are hurting from being contorted to a weird position. My shoulder is hurting from banging against the C-pillar while my head is banging against the rear windshield.
PROS
- provides an alternative means of livelihood (especially to those who just sideline as PUV drivers). from family hauler to passenger hauler in an instant.
- can fit in around 10 mid-sized passengers.
- easy to maintain & repair
CONS
- isn't megataxi's illegal in the first place (aren't they registered as metered taxis)? also, most of them are not registered as PUVs. they also eat out the revenues of jeepneys & buses plying the same route.
- a van (especially koreans) can haul more people in better comfort. no knees-against-your-chest sitting position or the dread of being the last to sit on the middle row.
- supresses the development and use of more efficient and/or ingenious mass transportation (e.g. airconditioned jeepneys / minibuses).

AUV taxis are here for years already, since the first Revo came out.

Now, why won't the LTO do something about it? So they are registered as taxis right?

AFAIK, wala nang Mega Taxi ngayon, meterd taxi na lahat. I that they should stay for a while until more mass transport system comes in. Some folks doesn't want to ride the jeepney, kasi mainit, so let them ride the FX but I think for short distances only.
Mas maluwag nga ang van pero may disadvantage pa rin dahil hirap lumabas yung mga nasa likod. Mainam lang ito for shuttle or garage services like Makati to Cavite.

sa baguio..auv taxis have a 5-seat limit....di sila nagpapasakay sa likod aside from cargo...pero siguro,pag madmi,siguro,pwede.
noon dito sa manila,they operate like that,until such time nawala na at gusto na per-head instead of meter.
for me,ok siya..di maiwasang bumili ka ng gamit na di kasya sa ordinary taxi or madami kayong aalis,e......

Sa Baguio walang third row ang taxi. Sa sahig ako pinaupo. hehehe. Pero metered ang bayad at hindi per head.
IMHO, AUV's don't really make good taxis. Korean vans na lang. Sliding doors pa and more seats.
