The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) announces that it will restart parts of the motorcycle taxi program on August 5. Multiple reports say the agency will begin accreditation for motorcycle taxi platform providers (MTPPs) on that date and reopen applications related to motorcycle taxi services. The move follows an earlier suspension of some motorcycle taxi rider and related applications after certain riding-hailing firms exceeded the onboarding limit set by the LTFRB. The renewed process is intended to allow additional riders and platform applicants to submit applications again under LTFRB rules. While the outlets emphasize different aspects—one focusing on MTPP accreditation and another on rider application reopening—both point to the same start date and the same regulatory reason for the earlier pause. The LTFRB’s announcements indicate that the application and accreditation steps are being restarted in a controlled manner after the agency previously halted entries due to compliance with onboarding caps.
