SAFER, FAIRER RIDES FOR PIER 1 PASSENGERS
Cebu City Councilor Winston Pepito, chair sa Committee on Transportation, nag-file og resolution nga nangayo sa PNP, pinaagi sa PRO-7 ug Cebu City Police Office, nga imbestigahan ang mga taxi driver sa Pier 1 nga dili mogamit og taximeter ug maningil og sobra nga plete.
The measure follows a complaint from a commuter that almost all taxis at the Pier 1 queue refuse to use their meters. Weak mobile signal in the area also makes it hard for passengers to book ride apps.
Gihangyo usab ang PNP nga makig-coordinate sa LTFRB-7, LTO-7, Cebu Port Authority ug CCTO para madakpan ang mga erring drivers ug ma-file-an og kaso sila ug ilang operators, ug nga magbutang og police visibility sa Pier 1 taxi queue labi na kon modunggo ang mga barko.
Pier 1 is a main entry point for students, workers, seniors, PWDs and tourists, many carrying luggage. The resolution asks the PNP to report back to the City Council within 30 days. It is set for the Council's October 27 agenda.
