Senate bars Maxim from operating as MC taxi

THE Senate Committee on Public Services has ordered Maxim Taxi Philippines Inc., a Russian-owned transport network service, to stop its operation as a passenger motorcycle taxi pending the approval of its application with the government transport regulating agency.

Committee chair Sen. Grace Poe said that Maxim motorcycles are only allowed to operate in the country to deliver cargoes, but not as passenger taxis thereby undercutting the market and violating their permit.
