Ride Arcade City at your own risk... If something happens to you, di ka sasagutin ng insurance or tutulungin ng goverment agencies...


Uber Alternative Arcade City Fights Regulation in Philippines and Austin

Its app, for example, doesn’t have a “request ride” button like most other ride-hailing apps. Instead, it shows a map of available drivers in your area and gives you an option to open a chat with them to discuss details of pick up and drop off. Drivers set their own rates, and it’s largely up to them to develop a connection with riders for repeat business.

The same day we announced our expansion into the Philippines, the Land Transportation Franchising & Regulatory Board (LTFRB) issued a press release ordering Arcade City to cease operations in the Philippines.

We responded today that Arcade City does not meet their definition of a transportation network company and that we will continue operations. We will be happy to work with the Philippines government to update their laws to reflect newer business models like Arcade City.

Our immediate focus is creating a community in the Philippines that can support each other while the government figures out how it wants to deal with this new model of rideshare company. Just like governments around the world have updated their taxi-friendly laws to accommodate Uber-style companies over the last few years, we are confident that governments will similarly revise their laws to accommodate the decentralized marketplaces of the future.

I mean bahala kayo mag usap ng Drivers nila. Labas sila doon kahit kasalanan ng driver nila, dapat the lease they can do is to facilitate Yun claims sa insurance ng drivers nila.

Basta ginamit ang private sasakyan for hire (exchange of money), di sasagutin ng insurance, at lagot ka sa LTFRB at BIR (form of income ang for hire at non-issuance of reciept)

those are your friends, and they are "authorized passengers". and it is standard courtesy from back when, that friends riding the car, shoulder part of the gas expense.
you are not violating any laws.
and should you and your friends meet an accident, all of you are covered by the usual private car insurance, if there is.
besides, whatever happened to "car-pooling" to save on gas and ease on traffic?
is this another case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing?

and should the authorities say otherwise, "let them prove their accusation!".

Ano kaya ang mga qualifications ng mga taga sagot sa social media ng mga gov't agencies na to? do they even check it with their superiors bago sagutin ang mga queries? If yes, mas malalang misinformation yan kung pati sila di alam kung ano ang tama.
Pati na yun sa mmda nung kainitan ng adda. Kaya tuloy sila pinagtatawanan. Tapos mag aakusa na meron nag hire ng trolls para siraan sila? E tingnan lang nila sarili nila sugurado pati sila matatawa sa sarili nila e.

Saka lang ako maniniwala sa posts/answers nila kung kalakip yung article and section ng kung anong rules and procedures meron sila.
