MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine ride-hailing industry is set to expand with the accreditation of 14 new players, potentially offering more options for commuters and promoting competition in the market.
The newly accredited companies include PureRide Corporation, UNLA LA Corporation, and Leggo Information Technology Solutions, among others. This development is expected to increase choices for passengers and potentially improve service quality.
Proponents of the expansion argue that increased competition could lead to better passenger experiences, particularly in areas such as ride safety and service reliability. They also suggest that a more robust ride-hailing market could reduce the number of single-use vehicles on the road and encourage would-be car owners to opt for digital ride-hailing services.
The full list of newly accredited companies includes:
- PureRide Corporation
- UNLA LA Corporation
- Leggo Information Technology Solutions
- Aztech Solution International Corp.
- Metrohills Transport Association Inc
- Hail Transport Inc.
- Angkas Technologies
- GoCab Corp.
- Unified Transport Operations League Corp
- Peek Up Philippines Corporation
- Get Express Global Corporation
- Para Xpress Technology Services Inc.
- Taxsee Philippines Inc.
- RL Soft Corporation
Industry observers emphasize the importance of these new entrants investing in technology, partnerships, and brand development to effectively compete in the market.
The impact of this expansion on existing ride-hailing services and overall urban transportation in the Philippines remains to be seen.
