To quote an internet commentator: "Uber continued accepting applicants even if there were instructions from LTFRB to put on hold all applications for Uber and Grab franchising. Grab on the other hand complied. That's why Uber was suspended for a month"
This is why I was kinda neutral on this issue. You see, I'm not against Uber per se, but did anybody notice that it exceeded its supposed goal in reducing traffic while providing safe mode of transport to their patrons. Instead of having cars share their rides, it has become a glorified millennial-driven "taxi" service (for upper-middle class people) with...well better service than most taxis. Having too much private Uber cars plying around Manila will aggravate traffic (though the blame should not lie on them).
