MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board said it expects to resolve within this week the complaint against ride-hailing app JoyRide for adding “priority boarding fees” to its fare matrix.

 

In a series of Viber messages, LTFRB Executive Director Tina Cassion told reporters that JoyRide was the only transport network company that the board found to have changed its fare matrix by charging its passengers the optional “priority boarding fee.”

 

“Among the TNCs that our mystery riders tried to book for a ride, it was only JoyRide that had the priority fee. We were told that this is also being done for deliveries, but that it is outside our scope already,” she said in Filipino.
