Uber Is Still Suspended and People Are More Furious Than Ever

(SPOT.ph) The last couple of days have been a rollercoaster for commuters in Metro Manila. At 6 a.m. on August 14, ride-sharing mobile application Uber halted its operations to comply with the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board's cease and desist order. This comes after the Transport Network Vehicle service company supposedly committed many violations despite the government agency's resolution on July 26 to stop accepting new units. By 11 a.m., Uber filed a Motion for Reconsideration and resumed its services. Commuters have been able to book ride-sharing services, until around 7 p.m. when the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) denied the private company’s request.

And now, here we are—angrier than ever.

Expect more latecomers.

So araw-araw may rant na ko kasi wtf LTRFB anong ginawa nyo sa uber. Inaano ba kayo.

Inaano ba kasi kayo?

So naisip ko lang. Siguro may officer ng LTFRB yung malelate na kanina kaya binawi muna yung suspension ng Uber.

Could be.

Now I'm afraid to commute this late.

Kudos for a very long-term plan though.

You deserve all the bashing @LTFRB
