Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 30) — Uber will not pass on to passengers the ₱190-million fine it paid to lift the month-long suspension imposed by regulators.
Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Spokesperson Aileen Lizada says Uber officials made the promise during the third technical working group meeting held Wednesday with representatives from transport network companies.
