Uber and Grab no more? LTFRB needs brains

**dr. d** · July 18th, 2017 06:54 PM

in a radio interview this morning...

ano po ang sa table 1?
doon po dina-download ang app.

ano sa table 2?
dun po binibigay ang supporting documents...

...bakit na-una yung download? papano nyo malalaman kung ok na siyang mag-download, kung wala pa siyang documents na binibigay?

from what i understand.
uber (and grab?) were designed for the private car owner, who wants to make a little income on the side, during the times when his private car is not in use by the owners.
so, after bringing the kids to school and the missus to the office, hubby can wait for a call to fetch a passenger to bring to the destination. logically, he will accept it only if he is already in the area.
now, somewhere along the way, some people got a germ of an idea and bought one or more cars, hired drivers, and had them pick up passengers under the uber or grab shield, on a full-time basis. voila! instant taxi! and without the hassle of applying for a franchise.

actually, meron kakampi ang gobyerno dyan, say for example sina fafa yebs or fafa CVT may anak sila nag pinag-aral nila sa expensive school then one time nagparty sila tapos nag-uber sila tapos nagkagustuhan yun anak nila saka yun gwapong driver ng uber.

so kung ikaw may anak na ginastusan mo ng husto to have a better future, papayag ka ba ng magka-asawa ng uber na driver?

Ayon sa twitter Kaya daw pala inupuan ng ltfrb ang kaso ng uber at grab kasi ang presidente ng nat'l taxi operators assoc ay si bong suntay na president din ng duterte for president movement of qc. Bayad utang daw bale ang scenario 😕

when you look into the abyss, the abyss looks into you

i have a bigger picture scenario why this happened. kasi pag mga ganito always follow the money trail. in the news they say there 7,500 grab legit ltfrb drivers of the 28000 cars registered with grab.

so why did the goverment allow them to do pursue being colorum? simple to improve our GDP. those cars bought for Uber or GRAB translate to better ratings for our economy. at syempre nag-improve pa ang sales ng dalawang major car manufacturer. di ko na sasabihin pero ano ba car ginagamit sa Uber at sa Uber X (the bigger one). yun ang mga kumita so yun ang tignan nyo.

now, since tied up na eto mga hapless colorum drivers na ito, mababaon na sila sa utang so naturally the banks will repossess those cars, and opportunity for the banks again to make more money.

so bakit biglang nagka-voice ang taxi operators ngaun coz the Powers that be allowed it na, it's time to collect hehe

----

i wonder how these Uber drivers are feeling right now, being duped by the government or the system and now baon sila sa utang and in danger pa masira ang credit standing nila for years to come, what will happen to them? will they join the rebel movement in the mountains.

pero eto lang talaga nakikita ko nangyari dito. they say their friend is Deakin. eh this guy along with the other guys sa car magazines, syempre kumikita sila pag malakas ang sales ng cars. do they have really lobbying power against the authorities. the best solution is to lobby a group of senators to modify this law. eh kaya makapag-lobby ba ng mga colorum Uber/Grab operators, that will translate to millions in peso lobbying money. eh magbabayad pa sila sa mga cars nila, na garahe na lang ngaun.

moral lesson of the story: don't jump in the bandwagon kagad sa apps ng mga millennials na ito. na-sampolan tuloy kayo ng mga pros sa gobyerno.

though in another sense, thanks for improving our GDP and making our country one of the 10 fastest growing economies in the world. siguro yun na lang contribution nyo, but now I guess that is one mess you are in. pano na cars nyo?

It was called ride sharing app dati. The idea is you can share your ride, isabay mo na isang pasahero para imbis na 2 kotse kayo eh 1 na lang, bawas sasakyan sa daan bawas traffic. Kaso nangyari ginawang business. Nadagdagan pa lalo ang dami ng sasakyan sa daan.
