The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has denied the accreditation application of motorcycle taxi platforms GrabBike and Dingdong RiderKo, citing their failure to meet key regulatory hurdles following  the end of their pilot operations.

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) are actively looking for funding to buy additional trainsets for LRT Line 2, a key move aimed at cutting down long lines that have formed at stations as passenger numbers keep growing. Right now, only eight trainsets are running on the line—one is having its Train Operating Control Panel upgraded, while another remains under repair—creating a gap between what commuters need and what the system can provide.

From a once-contested solution to Metro Manila’s provincial bus congestion, PITX is positioning itself for a bigger role in the country’s transport system as passenger traffic approaches its design capacity.

Cebu Pacific (CEB) has officially welcomed its 15th Airbus A330neo aircraft, cementing its standing as the largest operator of this aircraft type across Asia and bringing another modern, fuel-efficient plane into its growing fleet.

Improvements at the LRT-1 PITX Station are now fully in place, with the Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) confirming all upgrades fully implemented as scheduled by the end of the fourth quarter this year.
