Go after fake TNVS drivers, government urged 

MANILA, Philippines — The government should crack down on fake transport network vehicle service (TNVS) drivers, Sen. Grace Poe said yesterday.

She made the call following complaints on social media about motorists posing as a ride-hailing app user’s booked driver.

“It threatens the safety and security of passengers as the ride offer could be used as cover for other criminal intent,” Poe said.

She said the police, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board and other concerned agencies must put in place measures to counter this scam.

“We also call on the legitimate ride-hailing companies to work closely with authorities in getting rid of the fake ones that could impact their business,” Poe said.
