Carpooling Is a Cheaper Commuting Option
By carpooling, or sharing a ride with other another passenger who's heading in the same or near your destination, you can book a rider while enjoying 30% cheaper fares than booking a GrabCar, according to Grab.
GrabShare allows just one passenger per booking, with no more than two pick-ups and two drop-offs. In case passengers can't book a ride, they may choose to get a GrabCar instead, it said.
The app is also working to bring GrabShare to cities outside of Metro Manila soon, Grab Philippines said.
