Is Winstar LTO Authorised Using Green Plates?

Question from a reader on the Freeport's Taxi services:

Perhaps someone can tell me why some of the Windstar taxi's have private license plates and some have "for hire" plates. Also have noticed that the Mega Taxi's all have private plates?

And while on the subject of Windstar, if you hire a taxi at the main gate (Park & Shop) and go to Kalaayan the price is/was P140, however, if you call for a pickup in Kalaayan and go to the main gate (Park & Shop) the price is P220. Perhaps someone could explain the logic behind this method of pricing a ride that is the same duration and same distance???

[The Subic Bulletin] We believe outside the Freeport vehicles with green plates are not authorized or insured to cart passengers for hire. We are not sure about these laws inside the Freeport, but we have seen Winstar vehicles with green plates picking up outside the Freeport so we wonder how far Winstar's "protection" extends?

The pricing is a whole other matter, as the regular service is so infrequent, they seem to base their price on if they think they can pick up someone in the street on the way back.

Any others Winstar experiences to share?
