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.
