“House of Representatives acknowledges that motorcycles-for-hire does not just serve as  efficient alternative to mass public transportation but also  viable source of livelihood for Filipinos,” House Speaker Martin Romualdez said House of Representatives  passed on final reading  measure  seeks to regulate motorcycles-for-hire and allow its use as common carriers for transportation of passengers and goods.

House Bill 10424,  was passed with  200-1 vote with no abstention, also sets  60 kilometers per hour speed limit for motorcycles-for-hire.

Once passed,  law will mandate  registration of motorcycles-for-hire with  Land Transportation Office (LTO) to ensure  roadworthiness of all motorcycle-for-hire before their registration, or renewal of registration.

Bill  also requires  registration of Motorcycle Taxi Platform Providers (MTPPs) and Online E-commerce Platform Providers (OEPPs) with Securities and Exchange Commission and sets forth  minimum accreditation requirements that must be maintained by these digital platforms. 

Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board will determine  fares and surcharges for motorcycle-for-hire services. These rates will be set in consultation with  industry and require approval from  Department of Transportation.

Bill makes both  operator and  MTPP or OEPP jointly liable for any death, injuries, or property damage that occurs while operating  motorcycle-for-hire.
