MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Motorcycle taxis would not be back on the streets anytime soon as there is no legal basis yet for their continued operation, a transport official said on Friday.<\/p>\n

In an interview during the morning show, Unang Hirit, DOTr Assistant Secretary Goddes Hope Libiran said the Motorcycle Taxi (MC Taxi) Technical Working Group (TWG) has completed the pilot run of MC Taxis back in March.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no longer a pilot run to speak of. So, if there is no Congressional resolution,\u00a0wala po kaming magiging<\/em>\u00a0legal basis\u00a0sa<\/em>\u00a0(we don\u2019t have any legal basis here at) DOTr to continue the operation of MC Taxis. The operation of motorcycles for hire are prohibited under RA (Republic Act) 4136,\u201d Libiran said.<\/p>\n

After the completion of the pilot run, she said the MC Taxi TWG, led by Land Transportation Office (LTO) Assistant Secretary Edgar Galvante, has submitted its recommendations to the House Committee on Transportation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeron lamang po tayong<\/em>\u00a0recommendations\u00a0na ibinigay kagaya po ng<\/em>\u00a0acquisition\u00a0po ng<\/em>\u00a0insurance\u00a0para po sa mga<\/em>\u00a0riders and passengers,\u00a0‘yung<\/em>\u00a0allocation\u00a0po ng<\/em>\u00a0dedicated road space\u00a0para po sa mga<\/em>\u00a0MC taxis, and\u00a0pagkakaroon po ng<\/em>\u00a0rider’s standardized training (We only gave recommendations such as having insurance for riders and passengers, a dedicated road space for MC taxis, and having standardized training for riders),\u201d Libiran said.<\/p>\n

She said that the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) has endorsed the drafting of an \u201cappropriate Congress resolution\u201d that enclosed a letter of support from several local chief executives in Metro Manila.<\/p>\n

\u201cBilang bahagi naman po kasi ng<\/em>\u00a0IATF-EID,\u00a0kami po sa<\/em>\u00a0DOTr,\u00a0sa pamumuno po<\/em>\u00a0ni<\/em>\u00a0Secretary Arthur Tugade,\u00a0ay wala pong nakikitang problema dito dahil kinikilala po natin yung tulong na maibabahagi ng<\/em>\u00a0MC taxis (As part of the IATF-EID, we at the DOTr, led by Secretary Tugade, do not see any problem with their return to operation as we recognize the service that MC taxis provide),\u201d Libiran said.<\/p>\n

Aside from endorsing the legalization of MC taxis, she said the IATF-EID and the National Task Force (NTF) against Covid-19 have also made an early draft on the health and safety guidelines of MC Taxis in the midst of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Sharing helmets, she said, is also not allowed due to its potential to cause infection to all passengers who wear it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cKailangan meron pong dalang sariling<\/em>\u00a0helmet\u00a0‘yung mga pasahero at kailangan po<\/em>\u00a0cashless payment\u00a0‘yung magiging<\/em>\u00a0transaction (Passengers will need to bring their own helmets and all transactions must be cashless),\u201d Libiran said.<\/p>\n

Once legalized, she said a new technical working group will work with both the IATF-EID and the NTF to draft the comprehensive guidelines on MC taxis.<\/p>\n
