The TRO was sought by the Angat Tsuper Samahan ng Mga Tsuper at Operator ng Pilipinas Genuine Organization Transport (Stop and Go) Coalition. The court recognized the coalition’s argument that drivers of franchise transport utilities like taxis and UV Express (FX) have gotten their incomes slashed by half because of the likes of Uber and GrabCar.
The next hearing is scheduled on December 8. In the meantime, you can still use Uber and GrabCar.
