The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) orders motorcycle taxi platform Move It to pay about P555.7 million for onboarding more rider-partners than its authorised cap. Multiple outlets report the penalty relates to Move It exceeding the number of riders allowed to operate across Metro Manila, Cebu City and Cagayan de Oro.
LTFRB-imposed details vary slightly by publication. One report says Move It was allowed 17,746 rider-partners but exceeded that by 55,575, with a P10,000 fine for each unauthorised rider. Another outlet puts the fine at about P555.7 million and notes the platform is appealing. Rappler adds that Move It argues rider allocation is a “dynamic” measure tied to live, on-demand supply and that riders move online and offline throughout the day.
Overall, coverage centres on the LTFRB’s enforcement action and Move It’s response, with differences mainly in the exact fine figure and how much company explanation or process (such as appeal status) is foregrounded.
