00:00In the Senate, there are some issues with the Transportation Network Vehicle Service or TNVS.
00:06It is also included in the expensive massages and the difficulty in booking.
00:11First news, Bob Gonzales.
00:15Sir, I'm sorry sir.
00:20In the middle of the sidewalk clearing operations of the MMDA in Paranaque,
00:23this vehicle was about to be hit by a driver who ran away.
00:29It's not true. Did you see it or not?
00:31I didn't see it.
00:32You didn't see it?
00:35I saw it, sir.
00:37There's an enforcer up there. You should have asked him first.
00:39You should have stopped him. You shouldn't have hit him.
00:43It was just like that. I was afraid to hit him.
00:46Afraid?
00:48Weren't you afraid to hit the enforcer?
00:51Were you more afraid to hit him?
00:52We were standing there talking.
00:54Can you stand there?
00:56I know it's prohibited.
00:57You know it's prohibited. Why are you standing there?
00:59The MMDA has increased the number of clearing operations
01:02so that the roads can be more open during this holiday rush.
01:07Passengers can already feel the daily chaos of heavy traffic and the difficulty in driving.
01:15Sometimes it takes three hours because it's hard to drive.
01:20What time did you get home?
01:21Ten o'clock.
01:22Ten? Last night?
01:23Last night.
01:24What time did you wake up?
01:25Seven.
01:27Are you still sleeping?
01:28Yes.
01:30To make the trip more comfortable and faster,
01:32some passengers are choosing the TNVS or Transportation Network Vehicle Service.
01:37But aside from the high price of the massage, it's also hard to book.
01:41It's a warning to the Senate.
01:44If it's rush hour and it's raining, why is it so hard to book a Grab?
01:50We lack the supply of drivers on the road,
01:54especially when it comes to rush hour.
01:57Many are not traveling.
02:00Others are letting the traffic pass.
02:03That's why they need to be incentivized.
02:05The frequent cancellation of drivers was also complained about.
02:09If the customer cancels three times,
02:12what is their sanction to the driver?
02:15Do they have a similar consequence just in case they cancel?
02:22If they graduated, sometimes there's a suspension from the platform,
02:26a ban on the platform,
02:28or usually, especially if there's a habit of the driver for collective measures,
02:35we make sure that they are called to the office.
02:39They also often turn off the app during rush hour and motorcycle taxis.
02:43It won't be re-installed in the system of the Angkasa app and Joyride.
02:49What are the mechanisms to protect men like us?
02:57Angkasa has a fraud detection system to target riders who turn off the app.
03:03We are checking if we have been banned based on that.
03:08Even the smelly helmet of some motorcycle taxis was not allowed to pass.
03:12Sometimes, they clean it because it's smelly.
03:16Those kinds of complaints are not true.
03:20According to Angkasa, they built charcoal sanitation for helmets
03:24and they also have helmet cleaners that are used in different stations
03:29to avoid such complaints from passengers.
03:32Sometimes, customers don't wear helmets because it's hot.
03:35That's their reason.
03:37But the shower cap is required most of the time.
03:40It was also noted that it's hard to book a discounted passenger
03:44like PWD, senior citizen, or student.
03:48What about the complaints of other drivers?
03:50Are there people who abuse the discount?
03:52According to LTFRB, they have a memorandum of agreement with TNC like Grab
03:57that they should be the one to join the discounts.
04:00Before we award them the franchise,
04:02the 20% discount shall be shouldered by the TNC
04:08regardless of whether it's Grab or any other TNC.
04:11Explained by Grab, they just follow the Memo Circular 2018-004
04:16that states that the driver shall be the one to answer the discounts.
04:19According to the senators, the TNC should be the one to pay for it.
04:23The Grab promised to join the LTFRB.
04:26According to Grab, in the issue of surge and massage,
04:2980% of additional passengers go to the drivers when there's traffic,
04:33when it's raining, and when it's Christmas.
04:35They are also providing additional incentives to the drivers
04:38for the price surge.
04:40That's why the drivers are adamant on how to get rid of it.
04:43We are asking for it because it's really hard to travel now
04:49because of the traffic and the high price of gasoline.
04:52What we are asking for is not to reduce the surge
04:56because it's also important for us
04:59so that our income is worth it for our families.
05:04This is the first news.
