Motorcycle taxi company MOVE IT announced its partnership with Grab Philippines to offer motorcycle taxi-hailing service via the Grab superapp platform. The partnership highlights both MOVE IT and Grab Philippines’ broader commitment to supporting the needs of many passengers by providing safe, reliable, and easy-to-use mobility solutions for everyday commuting.

“Our customers and our riders will always be our top priority, and we are blessed to have an equal partner in Grab who will work with us to provide more Filipinos with greater access to motorcycle taxi services offered by MOVE IT, enhance our safety and hygiene standards, and help accomplish the goal of the motorcycle taxi pilot by providing the TWG with the relevant statistics and insights on motorcycle taxi safety – aiding Congress in motorcycle taxi legislation. Through this landmark partnership, we are confident that many Filipinos will experience and enjoy its many benefits, and we are hopeful that the bike-hailing industry will continue to recover from the impacts of the pandemic,” according to Francis Juan, President and CEO of MOVE IT.

MOVE IT and Grab will collaborate on three (3) key areas:

  1. Help enhance mobility conditions in Metro Manila by providing MOVE IT motorcycle taxi services on the Grab app;
  2. Widening the market access and availability of MOVE IT motorcycle taxi services; and
  3. Supporting the goals of the motorcycle taxi pilot by providing the TWG with more safety statistics and insights on motorcycle taxi safety – to aid Congress in motorcycle taxi legislation.

“Filipinos are known for our bayanihan spirit – our deep sense of community and camaraderie. As we work towards gradually reopening our economy and building a stronger and more resilient future for our communities, we all need to work together and help one another. Our partnership with MOVE IT is a hallmark expression of how transport stakeholders can come together for the common good, and we invite all companies to join us towards this mission. We are thankful for this opportunity to contribute to the motorcycle taxi industry. We hope that many of our kababayans will continue to experience the many unique benefits of this partnership so that we can all recover together,” said Grace Vera Cruz, Country Head of Grab Philippines.

The MOVE IT tile will be available on the Grab App starting Thursday, 23 September 2021. Read more about the partnership and how to avail of the motorcycle taxi service here.
