LTFRB ready to rule on complaint against taxi driver

THE Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB-7) will resolve the complaint of  overcharging  and threats filed by call center agent Dave Say Horca against taxi driver Joel Ramos over a disagreement on the reduced  P30 flag down.

Edwin Antepuesto, LTFRB-7 legal officer said they will rule on the case  soon.  He noted that Horca and his  witness have not yet submitted a signed affidavit to their office.

Last week, Horca brought a female witness to the LTFRB-7 office to testify regarding the  March 9 incident in  I.T Park in Cebu City. A brownout hit the office and they left before a statement  could be printed out and signed.

According to Horca and his wife, the taxi driver  got  angry when they asked for the correct change,  a P10 reduction in  the flagdown  that took effect that day. The couple said the driver threw the coins, pointed a knife and yelled at them.

Ramos denied the allegations.

Cebu Daily News tried to reach   Horca on his mobile phone for comment yesterday but he dropped the calls.
