Gatchalian wants TNVS institutionalized
By Nidz Godino
"It is important for the development of the country that we develop modern transport systems…we need to put in place mechanisms that will develop the industry along with transport network services and provide protection to passengers," in filing Senate Bill No. 817, Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian seeks to allow transport network companies (TNCs) and transport network vehicle services (TNVS) industry to offer ridesharing services to help decongest roads. Institutionalizing rules and regulations governing TNVS is one form of intervention that may help country avoid projected P5.4 billion in daily losses due to traffic congestion by 2035.
Gatchalian cited study by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) states Philippines is projected to lose P5.4 billion to daily traffic by 2035 if no interventions are made to improve situation.
He said intention of the bill is not just to decongest traffic, but to standardize and develop these transport services while strengthening safety and protection for both passengers and drivers.
Gatchalian stressed that properly developing TNVS industry could also reduce volume of vehicles on the road and thus help ease traffic congestion, especially in metropolitan areas.
He noted emergence of TNVS such as Grab, Joyride and OWTO, among others, provides commuters more choices and has compelled taxi operators to improve their service in terms of convenience, safety and efficiency.
While Department of Transportation (DOTr) has relegated to Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) full authority to regulate and supervise TNCs and the TNVS industry, there is need to define through law nature of TNCs and TNVS and clarify their role as common carrier.
As proposed by Gatchalian, TNCs and TNVS are obligated under contract of carriage once passenger avails of their service, thus TNC cannot evade liability by contending that they are merely technological platform to connect passenger with driver.
