Grab rolls out GrabTrike service in Pangasinan

Grab Philippines rolls out the GrabTrike premium service with partners.

Grab Philippines on Monday signed a partnership agreement with AutoItalia Philippines on Monday to roll out the first ever GrabTrike premium service in the country.

Grab Country Head Brian Cu said that the launch of GrabTrike premium would help ease the problems of commuters in Pangasinan.

“Transport modernization has always been in Grab’s core. Our goal is to provide a full spectrum of transportation solutions with localized and modernized services for everyday needs, no matter what vehicle they prefer or how short their journey is,” Cu said.

“Through our combined efforts with AutoItalia Philippines, we hope to work with LGUs to improve short-distance commute in more cities in the Philippines while improving driver welfare and passenger experience,” he added.

GrabTrike premium was adopted by the municipality of Binalonan, Pangasinan on Oct. 25 but the signing of partnership agreement only happened in November.

Cu said passengers will pay a P10 booking fee but this would be given directly to the drivers.

He added that they would follow the fare matrix for Binalonan  tricycles as the local government units regulate the tricycle fares.

The GrabTrike premium could ferry a total of three passengers. /ee
