Following two confirmed incidents of overcharging involving two taxis, the management of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) has initiated a full audit of all the accredited public transportation services to prevent the repeat of similar incidents at the country's main gateway.

In a statement, the New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) said that the main goal of the audit was to improve the transport system while ensuring that no abuses will be committed especially on airline passengers, especially inter-terminal travel and those going out of the NAIA.

"NNIC is conducting a full audit to determine which accreditations remain valid, which contracts are expiring, and which providers do not meet current standards," the statement read.

"To help passengers easily identify legitimate transport providers, NNIC is looking to roll out new and more visible accreditation markings with tamper-resistant features," it added.
