  With the continuous implementation of a sloppy community quarantine, Metro Manila started to reopen, and the people are now on the course of going back to their specific workplaces. And because of that, lots of people strive to catch a ride.

  Given the fact that public vehicles only can accommodate limited persons, the past weeks may have been difficult to passengers in jeepneys, taxis, transport network vehicle services (TNVS), buses and even with the Point-to-Point Bus services.

  To make daily commute much easier for some commuters, the Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has launched its newest mobile application with free booking service named as “Swatride.” This project is a joint activity between Toyota Motor Philippines-New Mobility Business, Delta Neosolutions (DNS) and SWAT Mobility in coordination with Department of Transportation (DoTr).

  This Swatride application gives commuters a convenient booking experience where they can view ahead of travel the seat availability and book their trip with their preferred seats in the P2P Bus. Somehow, it can help on the contactless procedure helping to alleviate the spread of COVID-19. Interestingly, this mobile application was formerly used for booking service for health workers and frontliners during the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ).

  The usage of the mobile app goes with three easy steps:

  1. Register and personalized your mobile application with your name, e-mail address and mobile number.

  “In consultation with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), TMP aims to support the government’s efforts in providing reliable, convenient, and safe transportation for the commuting public, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, TMP worked with Delta Neo Solutions, the transport service operator of P2P buses of the identified high-ridership route, to seamlessly integrate Swatride in the passengers’ experience,” TMP said in a statement.

  TMP’s Swatride is available for download from the Apple Store and Google Play, and Huawei App Gallery. It is available and free to use from July 20 to October 20, 2020.
