MANILA – Move It, one of three motorcycle (MC) taxi companies included in the country’s MC Taxi Pilot Program, is now certified and allowed to resume operation according to the MC Taxi Technical Working Group (MTTWG).
In a statement on Wednesday, the technical working group said Move It has been issued a certificate of compliance for being “fully-compliant” with the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) and the MTTWG’s guidelines under the MC Taxi Pilot Program.
“The certificate shall be valid for the duration of the MC Taxi Pilot Study unless revoked or canceled,” the group said.
Angkas and Joyride, the two other companies included in the pilot program, were each given their certificate of compliance last Monday.
On November 24, both Angkas and Joyride were each issued a provisional authority to resume operation several months after the operation of MC taxis were suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
On November 9, the IATF-EID released the guidelines for the operation of MC taxis which include the implementation of cashless payments, requiring passengers to bring their own helmet with a visor in lieu of a face shield, among others.
