Grab PH Promises Faster Ride Confirmations Starting this Month

MANILA: Grab Philippines reaffirms its commitment to reliable service, thereby improving the seamless commuting experience of GrabCar passengers.

GrabCar passengers may expect a significant rise in booking reliability starting this month, with ride confirmations occurring twice as quickly as they did in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The growing fleet of driver-partners on the Grab platform contributes to the steady and ongoing improvement in GrabCar's booking reliability.

The availability of rides for passengers grows as more TNVS drivers fill available slots, supporting Grab's goal to give every Filipino commuter a smooth and reliable mobility experience.

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) began gradually releasing more TNVS slots in January 2023, starting with 4,000 slots.

After the successful completion of this first batch in April, 10,300 more slots became available, and Grab driver-partners and other TNC operators have already filled half of them.

As it prepares for the second half of the year, Grab continues up its intensive driver-onboarding campaigns to maximize the use of the newly opened slots.

“We commend the LTFRB for their unwavering support of the TNVS industry. At Grab, we consistently advocate for a steady increase in TNVS slots to address the demand-supply gap that arose during the pandemic,” Grab Philippines Senior Director Operations Ronald Roda stated.

“With the opening up of more TNVS franchise slots, Grab and other players can better meet the mobility demand of the commuting public,” he added.

Roda also recognizes the LTFRB's initiatives to create a supportive environment for the TNVS sector, which are demonstrated by the growing number of available slots and the easing of requirements for TNVS driver applicants.

“More slots mean more livelihood opportunities for Filipino driver-partners, and reduced waiting time for passengers,” he said. “As we enter a high-volume holiday season, we hope for a substantial growth in franchise slots in the second half of the year. This progress will empower us to deliver unparalleled reliability and cater to the fast-rising demand for seamless ride-hailing services.”
