GRAB Philippines announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with MOVE IT for the latter’s motorcycle taxi hailing services.

In an e-mailed statement, Grab Philippines said the partnership aims to help enhance mobility conditions in Metro Manila by providing MOVE IT motorcycle taxi services on the Grab app.

Another goal is to widen the market access and availability of MOVE IT motorcycle taxi services.

“Grab Philippines will work with MOVE IT to enable the booking of MOVE IT riders through the MOVE IT tile which will be available on the Grab app beginning Thursday, 23 Sept. 2021,” the company said.

The move should “provide more Filipinos greater access to the motorcycle taxi services of MOVE IT, in addition to the passengers that MOVE IT riders can serve through the MOVE IT app,” Grab Philippines noted.

The partnership is also seen to enable both companies to provide the government’s technical working group overseeing the motorcycle taxi pilot with more safety statistics and insights on motorcycle taxi safety. — Arjay L. Balinbin
