Joyride PH enters car-hailing business

Motorcycle ride-hailing platform Joyride has expanded its services further after the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) allowed it to operate as a transport network company (TNC).

Last February 24, the agency signed the Certificate of Accreditation for the company “pursuant to Department Order No. 2015-11 and Memorandum Circular No. 2021-066.”

Joyride Senior Vice President for Corporate Affairs Noli Eala expressed gratitude over the approved accreditation. 

“We view this as a good development as commuters will now have another viable choice for safe, comfortable, and affordable car rides to their destination,” he said.

"We are very excited to have Joyride Car as one of the newest services available in our superapp. As always, we remain committed to providing value-for-money quality service to the public through the use of a powerful and scalable technology platform,” he added.

Joyride started in 2019 in the motorcycle ride-hailing business with the Joyride MC Taxi. It eventually branched out by offering more products namely Joyride Delivery (express motorcycle deliveries), Joyride Pabili (buy-for-me services), Joyride Taxicle (tricycle ride-hailing), Happy Move (two-wheel and four-wheel courier deliveries), JR Mall (online marketplace for food, groceries, and other non-food items), Buy Load, and COVID-19 home testing and now, as a TNC with Joyride Car.

"We continue to grow faster than ever, because, for us, this is just the beginning of our endless pursuit of providing quality service, innovation, and empowerment to help the millions of Filipinos achieve digital inclusion and make living their lives a lot easier," Eala said.

Currently, Joyride operates in Metro Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Baguio, and Metro Cebu and is powered by more than 20,000 Kasundo Driver-Partners with vehicles ranging from motorcycles, cars, vans, and trucks.

Further, Joyride Car is now accepting Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) Drivers and Operators to register as a partner. Interested parties may visit JoyRide Superapp's official Facebook Page for more information.
