Taxi: public or private?


Is anything wrong with this photo?

Well, the photo looks just right even if taken while the photographer was mobile. However, something is wrong with this Maligaya taxi's plate number. This taxi traveled all the way from Matina, through the Ulas police outpost (where Land Transportation People are usually stationed) and onto Mintal and yet no authority seems to have noticed its problematic plates.

Taxi units are for hire vehicles and are supposed to have yellow plate numbers. So why is this taxi ferrying passengers with a green plate?

Kitoy Pre,

Para makasabot ka sa proceso para ma Yellow ang plate number, pangutana sa LTFRB. Hinumdumi nga tanang taxi, nagsugod gyud na sa Green Plate. temporary ra na. As soon as may confirmation na sa LTO, change DENO na na.

Adto sa LTO, check na nga plate number, dili na na mao. Meaning na change na inot yellow plates.

Usa ka magmama. PAG SURE UY nga kabalo ka sa balaud.
