LTFRB cracks down on unreasonable cancellation of bookings by TNVS drivers
Manila Bulletin
|December 13, 2025
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has tightened its grip on ride-hailing operations by penalizing “strategic” booking cancellations, usually done by Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) drivers avoiding short trips, heavy traffic, or nonprofitable routes.
LTFRB Chairman Vigor D. Mendoza II issued Memorandum Circular 2025-055 on Thursday, Dec. 11, which treats driver-initiated cancellations as a violation under “Refusal to Convey Passengers” which is penalized under Section IV.2 of Joint Administrative Order 2014-01.
Joint Administrative Order 2014-01 pertains to violations of land transportation laws, rules, and regulations jointly issued by the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Land Transportation Office (LTO), and LTFRB.
