Royeca's assertion that the private sector needs to be a bigger part of transport planning is partly self-serving, of course; Angkas and other similar providers would obviously want to continue to be included in any strategy.
GEORGE Royeca, the CEO of motorcycle ride-hailing service Angkas, apparently gets it.During his interview on Manila Times' boss Klink Ang's 'Business and Politics' show over the weekend, Royeca made two points that anyone with the pretense of becoming a government transport planner should be required to have tattooed on their forehead before being allowed to go to work. First, government alone is never going to be able to solve the country's chronic transportation mess.
That pattern of being blindered on one problem to the aggravation of other problems, which characterizes transport planning, policy and regulation from top to bottom needs to be broken somehow, and the way to start doing that is to give actual stakeholders — first, the public and second, the transport industry — the majority voice in planning decisions.
