The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has revoked the accreditations of Leggo Information Technology Solutions and Aztech Solutions International Corp., the companies behind Leggo Superapp and Snappy, respectively.
LTFRB said it opened an investigation after receiving reports that the two transport network companies (TNCs) were no longer operating. The agency said its investigation confirmed the reports and found that the companies were unable to meet conditions for providing a platform to Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) operators.
The two companies initially had their Certificates of Accreditation canceled and revoked after they failed to provide valid reasons addressing administrative issues raised by LTFRB.
Their applications to renew their Certificates of Accreditation were later revoked after they failed to comply with the agency’s rules and regulations.
“The granting of the Certificate of Accreditation comes with a responsibility, an obligation and a commitment to provide the best services to the commuting public,” acting LTFRB Chairman Greg Pua Jr. said.
Pua said LTFRB can suspend or revoke an authority to operate when a company fails to comply with the conditions of its accreditation, particularly when commuter safety, reliability, and comfort are affected.
“When rules are violated, that’s when accountability begins like in the case of these two TNCs,” Pua said.
LTFRB did not specify in the release when Leggo and Snappy stopped operating or how many TNVS drivers and passengers had been using the two platforms before operations ceased.
