The Philippines’ pride, ride-sharing company Unified Transport Operations League (UTOL), maintained that they are equipped to beat the Holiday rush and will step up to make commuting smooth and stress-free for everyone.

In a statement, the company said they are primed to deliver safe, reliable, and convenient services that prioritize passenger’s needs, as a surge of travel demand is expected this month for the Christmas season.

“UTOL is enhancing its operations to meet the anticipated rise in bookings this season. By onboarding more TNVS driver-operators and optimizing ride availability, the company aims to provide passengers with quicker and easier access to rides, even during peak hours. Its commitment to maintaining transparent pricing ensures that the holiday hustle won’t come with unexpected fare hikes, allowing customers to book their rides without straining their budget,” the ride-sharing firm underlined.

To ensure passenger safety and convenience, UTOL’s app features a built-in emergency Help Button, an essential tool that enables passengers to reach a customer support representative instantly if they feel unsafe or experience issues during their ride.

Further, drivers can also use the same feature to report any concerns or emergencies, reinforcing a shared commitment to safety on both sides.

“For driver-operators, UTOL is ramping up support to keep them equipped and ready for the holiday season. Through partnerships with insurance providers, vehicle maintenance services and automotive dealers, UTOL offers drivers access to discounted services and affordable financing. These efforts not only keep vehicles in top shape but also empower drivers to take full advantage of the season’s increased earning potential without unnecessary stress,” the company further said.

Moreover, the company stated that this holiday season, UTOL isn’t just a ride-sharing service but a reflection of Filipino ingenuity and values.

“Rooted in the principle of partnership and care, UTOL treats every passenger and driver as part of its growing family. By prioritizing collaboration and community, UTOL is transforming every trip into more than just a ride — it’s a shared journey toward a better future for all.
