Grab Philippines said over the weekend riders can expect cheaper fare and faster booking with the reopening of 4,000 transport network vehicle service slots amid higher demand.
Grab Philippines country head Grace Vera Cruz welcomed the move of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board to open additional 4,000 TNVS slots, “ making your ride-hailing experience much better and more affordable.”
“This is a shared responsibility between the regulators, transport companies, and other partners in government,” she said.
The LTFRB announced last week it would open more than 4,000 TNVS slots starting Jan. 9, 2023 to bring the total vehicles to 11,000 as passengers complained of having difficulty in booking a ride due to the lack of TNVS units.
Vera Cruz said Grab is fully committed to providing consumers and their drivers “every possible solution within our means.” She said that “with the support of all our stakeholders, we will strive to provide all of you with a much better mobility experience through our app and platform.” Darwin G.
