HYPE
is REAL.
Hype Transport Systems Inc. is the newest Transport Network Company
accredited by The Land
Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB). Hype's accreditation to operate as a
Transport Vehicle Network Service is valid for two years.
This exclusively local, newly-formed
company, will use private cars like Grab. Its defining feature from Grab and
other services isthe use of older text-messaging technology as an alternative means for customers
to contact the service. The Short Message Service (SMS) booking is free
of charge for both rider and driver. Service will also launch an in-vehicle
digital signage display where Drivers and operators can earn extra from
advertisements. Advertising content can create promos and discounts for
passengers.
Is it cheaper?
Hype follows a base
fare of P40.00 and an additional P14.00 per kilometer. It caps its surge at
two times and does not charge per minute.
Fare prices
for its services will be "very competitive" by as much as 20 to 30
percent compared to Grab.
According
to its President and CEO, Mr Nick
Escalante,“On the driver and operator
side, mas maliityunpaghahatiannamin, we made it in such a way that we will get
a maximum of 20% to a low of 5% on the fare depending on the number of trips.
The more trips, the lower commission we will charge. Mas Malaki yun net pay
napaghahatian ng driver at operator.”
