Uber and Grab no more? LTFRB needs brains

[makinao]

I took Grab Car this morning at 7:30 (rush hour in my area) and at noon. There were more available Grabs today than Ubers in an average day. So I'm wondering if there really are thousands of people getting "stranded".

dont wonder, these companies will selectively display which is which during rush hour. higher price for a made-up demand = profit

I'm glad I did not listen to my Kuya when he told me to sell my coding car and just take uber during coding days.

If you can afford it, I'm glad I have a tiny condo near CBD, it has saved me 4 hours every day.

Because of Uber I have managed to ride almost every single 4-door car offered in the Philippine Market, Chinese and Indian brands included. This has influenced me to buy an SUV instead for out of town trips.

I agree that what we see on the screen may not be the reality. But my fare this morning was rather cheap. Maybe I was just lucky, but I didn't feel the panic that Uber is trying to project.

Nakaka turn off na si James Deakin once I saw the side of LTFRB.

"for sale"
"slightly used car... almost brand new"
"pang-uber sana... change of plans"
"good for uber!"

laughable talaga tong ltfrb. lahat ng uber complaints lahat galing sa mga taxi operators.

Tried Grab kanina lang since coding ako today.

Lumalabas na mas mura sya ng 50 pesos compared to Uber ang medyo hassle lang is that you pay for the toll fee in cash.

Since the suspension of Uber, wala na akong ma-book na Grab sa umaga. kung titingnan mo naman sa app, maraming grab car around the area. I also noticed, bumaba pa ang fare ng 17% (for the past 2 days).

when they filed that motion for reconsideration, they immediately poster on their FB page na re-activated ang Uber app. that is complete disregard of the law. yun ang nakaka-turn off sa management na yan. when LTFRB said that you can still operate naman after the suspension, you just the run the risk of Uber Drivers being apprehended as colorum drivers. so the LTFRB stated na in the spirit of support for their drivers, Uber na lang ang magbayad sa kahit ano mang financial difficulty na aabutin ng isang Uber operator, for instance Uber can absorb or reimburse the fine of P150K to the uber operator.

ano ginawa ni Uber in-off nya app. so they are defiant and yet when they are asked to rally with their own Uber drivers sa nakikita nilang pinaglalaban na tama, i-off nya yun app.

That is hypocrisy. yan ang nakaka-turn-off sa kumpanyang yan. That also suggests na wala kahit ano mang accountability ang Uber sa mga Uber operators nila cause they won't risk paying for the fine of their uber drivers. at least with taxi operators, sila ang sumasagot pag naaksidente o nakaakisidente driver nila. so ano yun insurance na sinasabi ng Uber? compre or tpl ng uber operator? eh di sa third party o sa govt-mandated din yun.

is this not so easy to understand? translate nyo na lang say your kid or your wife may nangyari while riding Uber, walang sagot si Uber sa loved ones nyo pag may untoward incident. eto na nga oo, first time Uber can prove to their Uber drivers they care, dine-activate nila app for fear na sila magbabayad sa gastos ng uber driver/operator. what a greedy company, nag-accept ng sobrang daming operators pagtapos walang accountability.

and Deakin is not helping either. He knows this. I dont know why he's trying to bury this issue and instead put the blame on the inadequacies of other public utility vehicles. that is not the main issue to be addressed here. sa iba na yun. you don't argue with the law by means of comparison. that's not how our justice system works. he's just inciting some sort of unrest sa mga uninformed netizens. bakit nya ginagawa ito? he cares? if he truly cares, then be a crusader. don't mislead the people, be truthful.

in order to understand why uber the company behaves the way it does

you have to understand the philosophy of its founder

Travis Kalanick is a libertarian

an Ayn Rand disciple

people like that believe in minimal government interference

they believe individuals should be able to do whatever they want and anyone who stands in their way should be dealt with

they see government regulators as enemies

gets mo na?

ang uber walang paki sa rules

ganyan attitude nila kahit saan bansa sila pumunta

that's why madami sila problema with regulators in many countries

di lang dito sa Pinas

uber doesn't ask for permission

they do what they want then pag nasita sila ng regulators, that's the time they acknowledge the regulators

Uber was a great app. I first used it sa LA in 2014. before I rode it, nagbasa muna ako sa internet about Uber. it says there Uber is a riding sharing app that I am basically riding a private owned car around LA. Car owners with more time on their hands can offer ride services. so simple.

how come biglang nagkaganito? if that is their philosophy, then that's the same double-edge sword na pwede nila gawin sa sariling nilang operators as well as their riders. anyone who stands in their way babanatan nila, This is so damn RECKLESS! bakit inallow sa society natin ang ganito?

[shadow]

grab put a ceiling daw sa surge pricing nila up to 1.5x or 1.7x lang kahit na 2x dapat ang allowed sa kanila ng LTFRB. Jusy to the riders dahil siguradong magkakaroon ng shoet ng supply
