    Xpress sets itself apart with several unique features designed to enhance the user experience. The Scan & Ride feature, successfully operating in Boracay since early 2024, allows passengers to scan a QR code and instantly book a ride. The app also offers Scheduled Bookings, enabling users to plan rides in advance, and recurring bookings for regular commutes. Furthermore, it prides itself on being the fastest ridesharing service, ensuring minimal wait times and efficient travel.

    Successful Partnerships with Local Government Units (LGUs)

    Xpress is proud of its successful partnerships with the LGUs of Boracay and El Nido, significantly improving local transportation. These collaborations have paved the way for smoother travel experiences for both locals and tourists. It is excited to announce upcoming expansions to the program in the coming months, with 3 more destinations in the pipeline, further enhancing its footprint across the Philippines.

    Supporting Filipino Communities

    The company is dedicated to empowering its driver partners through various initiatives. The Ride for Xpress’ program offers upskilling opportunities in Road Safety, Customer Service, Emergency Response Training, and Entrepreneurial & Financial Education, in partnership with KaNegosyo Center. This initiative helps drivers transition from merely driving to becoming entrepreneurs, enhancing their livelihoods and contributing to the community’s economic growth.

    Corporate Social Responsibility

    As part of its commitment to social responsibility, it has established an Emergency Response Team (ERT) for drivers. This team ensures swift assistance in emergencies, prioritizing the safety and well-being of both drivers and passengers.

    Future Developments: Xpress Eco Fleet

    Looking ahead, Xpress plans to deploy its Eco fleet, consisting of 2-wheel and 4-wheel vehicles, soon. The company is currently evaluating hybrid and fully electric vehicles (EVs) to contribute to environmental sustainability while providing top-notch service. This initiative aligns with the government’s efforts to reduce pollution and promote green transportation solutions, supporting a cleaner and healthier environment for all.

    Customer-Centric Innovation

    The company is revolutionizing transportation in the Philippines with a customer-centric approach that extends beyond traditional ridesharing. It is actively engaging with LGUs across Greater Metro Manila and MUCEP to integrate tricycles through partnerships with local TODAs. Its long-term vision includes seamless integration with public services like the MRT, LRT, and the upcoming subway system. 

    Looking to the future, Xpress is envisioned to be a comprehensive digital platform, incorporating not just mobility but domestic travel (flights, ferries), activity booking, and digital payments, ensuring a seamless and connected travel experience
