00:00The taxi drivers have no idea that the flag down rate is already at 50 pesos.
00:04But some taxi operators are still in a hurry.
00:07And it's supposed to be at 60 pesos per day.
00:10Rafi Tima is shocked.
00:16The flag down rate of Manconrado's taxi is already at 50 pesos.
00:19But some passengers are surprised because they still know that the flag down rate is still at 40 pesos.
00:24Some are angry, some are just getting off.
00:27Because they are surprised that the flag down rate is still at 50 pesos.
00:32But for others, if you explain it properly, there will be no problem for them.
00:36It was early in the morning and his operator was supposed to follow him.
00:40That's why the metro of his taxi was calibrated.
00:43Only taxis with a calibrated meter can detect the new flag down rate.
00:47Based on the order of the LTFRB Central Office on March 18,
00:50which was posted by the LTFRB Cordillera this August,
00:54the flag down rate of aircon and non-aircon taxis in the country was increased to 50 pesos.
00:59This is not included in the airport taxi services.
01:02This is against the fair reputation of the taxi drivers in 2022.
01:06But some operators chose not to calibrate because the expenses are high,
01:10but they added a small amount of passengers.
01:13It's like they don't want to reseal because the payment is expensive.
01:18Because they have a lot of units, they only added 15 pesos.
01:23Even though the Philippine National Taxi Operators Association is thankful,
01:27the taxi operators still lost in the last 10 that were increased.
01:31What they should have given was the original petition of 60 pesos for the flag down rate.
01:36That would have been more helpful.
01:39It's good because we earn more,
01:43but because the gas prices are also increasing,
01:48it's like we're getting the same amount.
01:52For some commuters,
01:54It's okay, but for regular employees,
01:58it's not okay for them. It's really heavy.
02:01While for some, the Transport Network Vehicle Service or TNVS is cheaper.
02:06Because the taxis hire them.
02:09Usually, for taxis, it's more expensive.
02:12For GMA Integrated News, Raffy Tima for 24 Hours.
