Ride-hailing firm Grab urged the government to have a "mindset that is open to innovation" and to "understand how businesses operate nowadays".

Ride-hailing firm Grab urged the government to have a “mindset that is open to innovation” and to "understand how businesses operate nowadays".

The Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) imposed a P6.5-million fine on ridesharing firm Grab Philippines after it violated its voluntary commitments following the approval of its acquisition of Uber last year.

Grab users in the country also traveled more than 920 million kilometers, reaching destinations across the Philippines this year.

Fully interactive 10-inch IDOOH display tablets will be integrated into selected GrabCar vehicles, providing passengers with an array of high-quality lifestyle, news, and entertainment as well as e-commerce function while in transit.

The LTFRB said Grab should reimburse the charge through rebates for future ride bookings of its passengers.

Grab Philippines has blamed the surge on its fares to the lack of supply of car units amid increasing passenger demand.

Grab Philippines said the suspension of its per minute fare has infringed the ?equal protection clause? of the Constitution even as it has allowed other transportation network companies (TNCs) to impose similar charges.

Grab Philippines hopes the move will reduce incidents of cancelled booked trips.

With the approval of accreditation of three new TNCs -- Hype Transport Systems, Hirna Mobility Solutions, and Go Lag -- the LTFRB has deemed it proper to grant Grab?s plea.
