The LTFRB finally lifted Uber’s suspension after the ridesharing company paid a P190-million fine. (We want to know how they came up with that amount.) Of course, collective cheers were seen on social media after the 15-day hiatus ended. We could finally go home with ease—if there was no surge that is.

Netizens happily shared screenshots of their app to welcome Uber back. (Yes, including us.)

There were also cute exchanges between riders and drivers.
Kulang pa ba yung 190M, LTFRB?
