Continuing on its commitment to professionalize habal-habal riders, MOVE IT – a homegrown Filipino Motorcycle Taxi company, officially kickstarts its Habal-Habal to Legal program, which seeks to assist and guide habal-habal riders as they try to obtain a professional license.

The motorcycle (MC) taxi company held its first sign-up event last August 12, 2023, drawing countless habal-habal riders who aspire to secure a pro license and ultimately become rider-partners on the platform.

The program is a testament to MOVE IT's commitment to transforming informal street-hailing riders into professional MC taxi service members that offer safe, reliable, and legal mobility services.

Legit is the way

The program also encompasses refresher courses and training sessions, focusing on technical knowledge and skills related to road safety and traffic regulations. These measures significantly enhance the riders' chances to pass the Land Transportation Office assessment process successfully.

MOVE IT’s pioneering efforts to professionalize the habal-habal sector marks a decisive step forward for the MC Taxi and the broader transport industry, embracing the government’s vision of safe, reliable, and professionalized motorcycle taxi services.

As MOVE IT’s forums and dialogues continue, the transformation of habal-habal riders into respected MC Taxi professionals will undoubtedly usher in an exciting new phase for the Philippine transportation landscape.

MOVE IT is set to have more Habal-Habal to Legal sign-up events and support sessions, all to be hosted at the MOVE IT Partner Center in Marikina City.

Interested habal-habal riders may visit the official social media pages of MOVE IT for more information and updates.

It might be best to take advantage of this opportunity to go legit, wouldn’t you agree?
