Despite higher fares, Grab, the market leader among booking apps, has become a viable alternative to taxis and public transportation. Commuters were frustrated during the holiday season due to high demand, with some having to wait for hours for a ride.
In a January 6 statement, the Grab Philippines said the shortage of available rides was due to "mobility standstill", which likely means heavy traffic, and the economic effects of the pandemic that led to some "driver-partners" missing payments on their vehicles and others seeking better pay in other fields.
Grab said it is looking for new GrabCar driver partners — Grab drivers are not employees — with 4,433 new Transport Network Vehicle Service slots available this month. It said getting new partners on board would help make the booking experience better for its users.
