Commuting in the Philippines is a real struggle.
In a country where public transportation isn’t something to boast of, you need superpowers just to get a cab. Dealing with dishonest and opportunistic drivers is another story. Also, the feeling of security is almost non-existent thanks to numerous schemes involving taxi drivers.
Thank God, there are ride-sharing companies like Uber, which seamlessly connects riders to drivers through an app. The “e-hailing” car service is the best way to get a secure, dependable, and affordable ride in the Philippines.
Here are 10 of the best reasons why you should use Uber.
1. Stay connected on the road
Uber teamed up with Smart Communications to provide free in-car WiFi, allowing riders to say connected and entertained even on the road. The first free WiFi initiative in Southeast Asia, it will first be available in select Uber vehicles before it becomes more widespread in the coming months.
2. It’s legal everywhere in the Philippines
With the Philippines becoming the first country to create nationwide hailing regulations, Uber is legal everywhere in the Philippines. That means Uber cars are expected to be GPS-equipped and must be less than seven years old. Uber drivers are also required to register with Philippine transportation authorities.
3. Get the perfect ride for you
With Uber, you have the option to get a vehicle that matches your style and budget. From low-cost vehicles to ultimate luxury cars, Uber gives you the power to pick the perfect ride.
4. Clear-cut pricing
No more hassle of going over budget just to reach your destination. With Uber’s clear pricing system, you can easily get a fare estimate of your trip on the app.
5. Dependable pickups
Aside from providing details about the driver and the vehicle, Uber also allows you to track the location of the driver on the map. Just relax for a few minutes and Uber will text you once your ride is ready.
