Marikina City 2nd District Representative Stella Quimbo pointed out that although Move It’s current market share is small, Grab would like use its existing platform to rapidly crowd out the fledgling motorcycle taxi market.

Move It was among three motorcycle taxi operators approved by the Department of Transportation in its pilot study on motorcycle ride-hailing services. Grab had earlier applied as well, but the app was unable to gain the approval of the department’s technical working group .

“Hindi po namin siya sinasabi na ito ay backdoor entry sa ating pilot study.
