inDrive, a global mobility and urban services platform, proudly introduces its revolutionary tricycle ride-hailing service aimed at transforming tricycle mobility in Bacolod through its distinctive fare negotiation feature.

Recognizing the untapped potential in the tricycle services market, inDrive has taken the initiative to bridge the mobility gap in Bacolod by creating a platform that connects drivers with passengers, streamlining the booking process for both parties.

Tricycle drivers can now receive bookings through the inDrive app, making it more convenient for passengers. Additionally, passengers have the advantage of negotiating a fair price with the driver, fostering transparency, trust, and mutually beneficial transactions.

“In Bacolod, we identified an opportunity to better serve the community by offering a reliable and efficient solution for tricycle mobility,” said Afanasii Petrov, Business Development Manager of inDrive. “Our goal is to bring convenience to both passengers and tricycle drivers, enhancing their daily lives and ensuring their safety while traveling.”

Each ride is recorded and monitored, reducing the risk of incidents during trips. The inDrive app also enables passengers and drivers to view each other’s ratings and number of trips, facilitating more informed decisions when choosing to travel together. A dedicated in-app support function assists passengers in reclaiming any items accidentally left behind.

To become a tricycle driver with inDrive, applicants must meet specific requirements to ensure safety and compliance. These include possessing a valid Land Transportation Office (LTO) Driver’s License, obtaining a Motorized Tricycle Operator’s Permit (MTOP) as mandated by local regulations, and having access to a registered tricycle unit. These prerequisites ensure that drivers are qualified and equipped to provide reliable and secure tricycle services to passengers.

Over 300 drivers have already joined inDrive, and the platform is committed to expanding the driver network through ongoing training sessions, Q&A meetings, and motivational programs. The current incentive campaign on inDrive’s Facebook platform, offering rewards such as rice and gas vouchers, has inspired and celebrated the first group of successful drivers.

“In our commitment to both passengers and drivers, we currently offer our service for free,” explained Afanasii Petrov. “We intend to introduce a service fee structure for drivers only after we have established a substantial market share and created a sustainable business generating a consistent volume of daily rides.

inDrive operates in over 700 cities in more than 45 countries. It supports local communities via its peer-to-peer pricing model and community empowerment programs, which help advance education, sports, arts and sciences, gender equality and other vital initiatives.
