A new era of safe and reliable urban commuting has arrived. Xpress Super App, a leading all-in-one mobility platform, is proud to announce its formal partnership with Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC), the operator of the LRT-1 system. This collaboration aims to address critical commuter concerns regarding safety, transparency, and accessibility, starting with the Dr. A Santos (formerly Sucat) LRT-1 Station.
This partnership provides a secure and organized “last-mile” transport solution for commuters traveling to and from the train station. By integrating Xpress’s accredited moto and car taxi services, the initiative directly tackles the long-standing issues associated with unregulated operators, such as unsafe practices and exorbitant fares.
Key features of the new partnership include:
Safe and Accredited Rides: All Xpress drivers are professionally trained and fully accredited by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB). This ensures that every trip is not only safe but also legally compliant, with every ride fully insured for passenger protection.
Transparent and Fair Pricing: Unlike unregulated “habal-habal” services, Xpress guarantees fair and transparent fares. For example, a typical 2 km trip with Xpress costs approximately ₱50, a significant saving compared to the ₱100 to ₱150 often charged by unregulated operators.
Dedicated Station Infrastructure: A new, regulated system has been implemented at the Dr. A Santos Station. A boom gate now controls vehicle entry and exit, and stationed security personnel ensure that only accredited transport services like Xpress are allowed to operate within the premises. A dedicated terminal has also been set up for Xpress passengers, ensuring safe and convenient access.
Introducing the EV Taxi Fleet
In line with its commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility, Xpress is also introducing its new EV Taxi service featuring BYD electric vehicles. This eco-friendly fleet offers a quieter, cleaner alternative to traditional vehicles, supporting Metro Manila’s sustainability goals while maintaining the high standards of safety and service quality that Xpress is known for.
By prioritizing legality, safety, and accountability, this partnership between Xpress and LRMC is set to restore commuter confidence and significantly improve the daily travel experience for thousands of Filipinos.
