Backed by the Boracay Land Transport Multi-Purpose Cooperative (BLTMPC) and the supportive leadership of Mayor Floribar Bautista and Vice Mayor Niño Cawaling, Xpress now completes thousands of rides monthly, boosting driver earnings and enhancing commuter convenience.
Before Xpress, travelers often faced the hassle of haggling for rides or waiting endlessly under the tropical sun. For drivers, the lack of a ride-matching system meant wasting time and battery power circling the island. Xpress changed all that.
By connecting passengers directly with e-trike drivers via a mobile app, Xpress has eliminated inefficiencies while offering:
Cashless payments for smooth, secure transactions
Real-time ride matching, reducing idle time and battery use
Higher income opportunities through consistent bookings
Eco-friendly, insured rides that protect passengers and preserve the island’s beauty
The app's impact is magnified through a strong collaboration with BLTMPC, led by chair Joel V. Gelito, ensuring a professional, organized e-trike transport system.
A standout feature is Xpress’s Gadget Loan Program—a fast-track initiative allowing BLTMPC drivers without smartphones to join the platform within just 15 minutes.
Beyond Boracay, Xpress is also thriving in Greater Metro Manila, offering reliable moto taxi and car taxi rides. With just one app, users can book transport from their home to the airport in Metro Manila, then seamlessly hop onto an e-trike from the jetty port to their hotel in Boracay.
As a digital-first, environmentally conscious solution, Xpress is setting new standards in the Philippine transportation landscape. It’s more than just a ride—it’s a movement towards smarter, inclusive, and greener travel. —Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
