#tara ride hailing

A new ride-hailing app in the Philippines, Tara, has just been announced. Its founder Erwin Dee took to Facebook to share his goal in creating Tara to fill the gap that is making its fare sustainable for both riders and drivers. Several ride-hailing and motorcycle taxi platforms in the Philippines have begun reducing their commission rates in response to rising fuel prices, following discussions in a congressional hearing. For four-wheel ride-hailing, Grab reduced its commission from around 20–21% to 18%. Lalamove is expanding its ride-hailing service by offering better income opportunities for drivers, including a 2% commission rate and weekly incentives. One driver in Antipolo said the model helps him earn more for his family, while another noted he can switch between ride-hailing and deliveries to maximize income throughout the day. PeekUp is a new online ride hailing app now available in the Philippines. In efforts to compete with the existing ride hailing services, PeekUp grew its vehicle fleet through ease of access.
