Move It said it will work with government in the latter’s efforts to validate its passenger safety data even as it committed it continues to put in place other measures that ensure its app users are protected.
Move It made this statement yesterday in response to a declaration of Land Transportation Office (LTO) head and assistant secretary Vigor Mendoza II at the House Committee on Transportation the agency was validating the safety data submitted by the three motorcycle (MC) taxi companies involved in the ongoing pilot study. Move It is one of the three MC taxi companies.
“One of the seven pledges of Move It is that passenger safety is its top priority,” said Wayne Jacinto, general manager of Move It. “We recognize that in this effort we need to work closely with government regulators, our partner-drivers and our passengers, so we will share any information the Department of Transportation Technical Working Group needs to validate its safety data.”
Jacinto said Move It continues to use technology “to improve the user experience, particularly with regard to safety,” noting one of the strengths of the app is the ability to closely monitor how our partner-riders drive.”
“With this information, as well as customer feedback, we can monitor the behavior and assess the driving skills of our drivers, and emphasize specific areas for improvement or require additional training,”Jacinto said.
The Move It exec noted Move It has a 99.9-percent safety rating, and that it benefits greatly from its technology partnership with Grab.
Grab also operates in Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, and touts a 99.9-percent safety rating in the Southeast Asian region.
