GRAB Philippines has expanded its operations to now include Subic Bay Freeport Zone, bringing the total cities where it is present in the Philippines to 12, officials said on Tuesday.
Brian P. Cu, who heads Grab Philippines, said his group is introducing the GrabTaxi service to Subic to support the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority’s (SBMA) vision of transforming Subic into a smart city.
“As the everyday app, we at Grab believe in the smart cities of tomorrow, and introducing our technology to Subic brings it closer to its vision of building its very own smart city,” he said.
So far, Grab as has equipped 120 taxi drivers with the Grab application, which, according to the SBMA Chairman and Administrator Wilma T. Eisma, “will greatly help the hundreds and thousands of employees of over 1,600 business locators in the free port.”
“We share the same goal of providing convenience to Filipinos. GrabTaxi can make a difference in the lives of locals and tourists in Subic,” she said.
With Grab now in Subic, Cu said, the company is now in a “larger position to enable more micro-entrepreneurs to be successful.”
“Our vision as an everyday super app is to be present where we are needed, all while providing the best services to our customers,” Cu said.
Aside from Subic, Grab is also available in 11 cities in the Philippines, namely Manila, Cebu, Davao, Pampanga, Cagayan de Oro, Bacolod, Baguio, Bataan, Naga, Iloilo, and Tacloban.
