Accreditation Number 2018-TNC-005 was signed on Monday by Lizada, LTFRB Chairman Martin Delgra III, and Board Member Ronaldo Corpus.
Micab, an app for booking taxis, is the 5th ride-hailing company approved this year, joining Hype, Hirna, Go Lag, and Owto.
The ride-hailing company can start operating once it receives its accreditation papers.
The 5 companies are expected to challenge Grab, which now dominates the local market after it bought Uber's operations in Southeast Asia. – Rappler.com
