The government may be extending the pilot run of motorcycle taxi services, but its technical working group has set a new cap that threatens to take away the jobs of 17,000 Angkas bikers.

From an initial cap of 27,000 bikers for the 6-month Angkas pilot run, the TWG set a new cap of 39,000 split among the 3 providers: 10,000 bikers for Metro Manila and 3,000 bikers for Metro Cebu per ride-hailing firm. Inton expressed concern over the cap since the passenger demand for motorcycle taxis increased since the start of Angkas's 6-month pilot run.

angkas ANGKAS saved me from getting tardiness violations. Kabuhayan ko yon on the line and the mere existence of angkas helped me keep my job. So I'm paying it forward by rallying to SaveAngkas.

angkas It was my first time to ride Angkas this week because i can’t book Grab. And my rider Raphael was very respectful and kind when I told him I am a first-time rider. I hope he keeps his job . Reached home safe bec of him. Makati-Mandaluyong SaveAngkas

angkas Mga Angkas drivers pag nagkukulang na ko ng baryang pambayad sila pa yung magpaparaya na wag na buuin yung bayad like P84, tanggap na nila yung P80. Unlike sa Grab jusko magdedemand pang dagdagan ang fare. I said what I said. Sorry not sorry SaveAngkas

Here we go again - LTFRB meddling with a working system to screw it up for the commuters and riders. Grab, redux?

Siyempre friends and family papasukin nadin 2wheeled transport sector. What’s new?

Ah, the steady, progressive hand of the LTFRB
