Two words: Bad trip! (Especially for Uber users.)
“The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is cracking down on car service provider Uber,” reports James Beltran on News5.
The report stated that earlier this week, an Uber vehicle, a black SUV with license plate number WII-360 was impounded after the LTFRB booked a trip through Uber. The company was slapped with a PHP200,000 fine for the said car.
The LTFRB may slap the same fine on each Uber car on top of impounding them for three months.

LTFRB Exec. Dir. Roberto Cabrera said, “We are just being fair with legitimate franchise owners. Uber is unfair competition as it doesn’t have a franchise to operate.”
In fact, the LTFRB is planning to totally shut down Uber’s operations.
