Manila’s streets to rumble in 2025 as Xpress launches “Arangkada,” fueling driver dreams and commuter convenience

The asphalt of Dr. A. Santos LRT Station Parking Lot is about to transform into a hub of opportunity and innovation as Xpress, a burgeoning ride-hailing giant, prepares to launch its groundbreaking “XPRESS ARANGKADA: Barkada sa Kalsada; Asenso ang Kita!” event on March 8, 2025.

For the Philippines’ fastest-growing ride-hailing app, this isn’t just another promotional stunt; it’s a full-throttle push to reshape Metro Manila’s urban mobility, empowering driver partners and elevating the daily commute.

Imagine a single day where aspiring drivers can ditch the paperwork purgatory and jump straight into the driver’s seat. That’s the promise of the company’s new program.

From instant sign-ups to live test drives of cutting-edge BYD electric vehicles, and thrilling Moto Taxi skills demonstrations, the event is designed to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit and showcase the future of transportation.

Earlier this year, in a move that’s sent ripples of excitement through the industry, the company also teamed up with global EV giant BYD, AC Mobility, and Cebuana Lhuillier’s “Ka Negosyo” Program to spearhead the nation’s transition to sustainable mobility.

Forget incremental changes; this means full-throttle acceleration towards a cleaner, more efficient future being brought to you by Xpress, a proud sister company of Cebuana Lhuillier.
