Xpress Super App is a pioneering transportation solution from the Philippines that delivers seamless ride-hailing services across Metro Manila and Boracay. Offering insured e-trike rides, moto and car taxi options, and innovative digital features, Xpress empowers commuters and drivers with efficiency, safety, and sustainable travel—revolutionizing urban mobility across islands.
In a rapidly evolving world where every minute matters, Boracay’s transport scene is experiencing a groundbreaking transformation. In less than one year, Xpress Boracay has emerged as a trailblazer, offering affordable, safe, and insured e-trike rides that are reshaping how both locals and tourists navigate the island. This success story is built on a long-standing collaboration with the Boracay Land Transport Multi-Purpose Cooperative (BLTMPC), dedicated e-trike drivers, and the unwavering support of local government. Under the leadership of Mayor Floribar Bautista and Vice Mayor Niño Cawaling, the local government has played a pivotal role in propelling this initiative forward.
A New Era in Island Transportation
Before Xpress Boracay made its debut, both residents and visitors struggled with unreliable, often chaotic transport options. E-trike drivers would roam the island aimlessly, searching for passengers and draining precious battery life without a guaranteed ride. Meanwhile, tourists and locals alike faced delays, unpredictable pickups, and mounting frustration during their island journeys. Recognizing these challenges, Xpress Boracay set out to reimagine and streamline island transportation.
The Power of Collaboration
This remarkable transformation did not happen overnight. It is the result of close partnerships and innovative solutions:
Strategic Alliances
Local Government Leadership: Mayor Floribar Bautista and Vice Mayor Niño Cawaling have championed sustainable and innovative transportation solutions for Boracay. Their support has been critical in creating an environment where modern, digital initiatives can thrive.
BLTMPC Partnership: Working hand in hand with the cooperative—led by Chairman Joel V. Gelito—Xpress Boracay has empowered local e-trike drivers by providing them with a reliable platform that connects them directly with waiting passengers.
Empowering E-trike Drivers
Direct Passenger Matching: Instead of cruising aimlessly, drivers now receive precise directions to areas where customers are waiting. This innovation not only boosts the number of completed rides but also conserves the battery life of the e-trikes, ensuring drivers can serve more passengers throughout the day.
Enhanced Earnings: With increased ride completion rates, drivers earn extra income on a daily basis, helping improve their livelihood and contributing to the overall economic growth of the island.
Gadget Loan Program: Recognizing that not all aspiring drivers have access to a smart phone, Xpress Boracay has launched a dedicated initiative for bona fide and active members of the BLTMPC. Drivers in need can visit the Xpress Boracay office located on the 2nd floor of the SCPD Building in Sitio Bantud, Boracay. In just 15 minutes, they can be registered as e-trike drivers for Xpress and start benefiting from numerous driver cash incentive programs.
A Seamless Travel Experience
Integrated App Platform: Xpress is more than just a ride-hailing service—it’s a one-stop app shop for all your travel needs, whether you’re on the island or heading there.
From Manila to Boracay in a Few Clicks: Travelers can book a moto taxi or car taxi in Metro Manila to the airport and, upon arrival, seamlessly switch to an e-trike ride from the jetty port to their resort or hotel. All transactions are cashless, insured, and executed with just a few taps on the app.
Greater Metro Manila Service
Moto Taxi and Car Taxi Options: Beyond its island offerings, Xpress is also a trusted name in Greater Metro Manila. With thousands of happy customers daily, the service extends to both moto taxi and car taxi options, ensuring commuters have access to reliable, efficient, and safe rides wherever they go.
Convenience at Its Best: Whether you’re navigating the busy streets of Manila or exploring the serene beauty of Boracay, Xpress provides a seamless travel experience that caters to your specific needs.
How Xpress Boracay Works: A Step-by-Step Journey
To truly understand the impact of Xpress Boracay, consider these key features that make every ride effortless and secure:
User-Friendly Interface
The app’s intuitive design means that booking your ride is as simple as a few taps on your smartphone. No more waiting in endless lines or flagging down drivers on the street.
Real-Time Ride Matching
When a ride is requested, the system immediately identifies the nearest available vehicle—be it an e-trike on Boracay or a moto/car taxi in Metro Manila—ensuring minimal wait times for customers. Drivers are directed precisely to the customer’s location, reducing unnecessary mileage and battery drain.
Safety and Security Measures
Every ride is insured and monitored with real-time tracking, providing both drivers and passengers with peace of mind throughout the journey.
Seamless Payment Integration
The cashless system not only expedites the payment process but also enhances the overall safety of transactions, making it an ideal solution for tourists and locals who prefer digital payments.
Environmental Impact
By optimizing routes and reducing idle times, Xpress Boracay contributes to a reduction in carbon emissions, aligning with the island’s commitment to preserving its natural beauty.
Success Beyond Expectations
Within just a few short months, the numbers have spoken for themselves. Xpress Boracay has garnered thousands of completed rides every month, winning the hearts of tourists from around the globe and locals alike. The initiative is more than just a service—it’s a movement that champions:
Economic Empowerment: With better earnings and improved work conditions, e-trike drivers are experiencing newfound financial stability.
Community Trust: The transparent and secure nature of the app has built trust among users, reinforcing the community’s confidence in modern digital solutions.
Tourism Enhancement: By providing a reliable and efficient mode of transport, Xpress Boracay has made it easier for tourists to explore the island, leading to a richer and more enjoyable travel experience.
Looking Ahead
The story of Xpress Boracay is just beginning. With the continuous support of local government leaders Mayor Floribar Bautista and Vice Mayor Niño Cawaling, and the active involvement of the BLTMPC cooperative under the leadership of Chairman Joel V. Gelito, the initiative is set to grow even stronger. It stands as a shining example of how innovation and community collaboration can transform everyday challenges into opportunities for growth and success.
For anyone seeking a seamless, secure, and sustainable way to navigate Boracay or the bustling streets of Metro Manila, the solution is clear. Visit www.xpress.ph for more information, download the app, and experience the future of transportation. Xpress: Your Island Transport Solution.
