As one of the Philippines’ most dynamic economic powerhouses, Cebu City faces unique mobility challenges characterized by a bustling mix of commercial and tourism activity. The need for reliable, accessible transportation has become a cornerstone of the city’s continued development, requiring solutions that can keep pace with its economic momentum. In response, global mobility platform #inDrive has formally established its physical presence in the city with the official opening of its flagship Drivers Centre on E. Echavez Street.

 

The launch follows a year of significant expansion since inDrive’s initial launch in December 2024. The new facility will serve as a dedicated hub for driver support and community engagement, reinforcing inDrive’s commitment to providing a safe, people-driven mobility platform for the Visayas region.

“Being present in Cebu means better support for our partner drivers and a more dependable experience for passengers,” said Vanessa Taqueban, inDrive Philippines Driver Operations Lead. “This Drivers Centre helps us address day-to-day mobility challenges while keeping fairness and safety at the core of our operations.”

Driving Growth and Fairer Mobility in Cebu

Since its initial entry into the local market, inDrive has seen a remarkable surge in adoption. Monthly completed rides in Cebu soared by 312.71% by December 2025, reflecting strong and sustained demand. This momentum is mirrored by a 120.52% expansion in the network of active partner drivers over the same period, underscoring the platform’s accelerating scale and engagement in the city.

Further fueling this growth is inDrive’s industry-leading 5% commission rate, which allows partner drivers to keep up to 95% of their earnings. This provides greater income security amid rising operating costs while enabling passengers to benefit from more affordable ride options.

Recognizing the city’s status as a premier tourism and business destination, inDrive is designed to navigate Cebu’s diverse urban landscape. By offering fixed, transparent fares, the platform removes the uncertainty often found in tourist-heavy hubs, allowing locals and visitors to navigate the city’s daily bustle with confidence. This organic growth is supported by the continuous rollout of localized safety features and app enhancements, ensuring service quality keeps pace with Cebu’s evolving urban needs.

“This Drivers Centre reflects our strongest commitment yet to Cebu and the Visayas,” said Sofia Guinto, inDrive Philippines Country Representative. “We are not here to simply operate. We are here to invest, to partner, and to grow responsibly with the communities we serve. As demand rises, our focus remains clear: fair earnings for drivers, transparent fares for passengers, and a mobility platform that puts people first.”

The Cebu Drivers Centre is a key pillar in inDrive’s strategy to strengthen its presence across the Philippines. As the brand’s second Drivers Centre in the Visayas—following the opening of its Bacolod facility on January 20—it underscores inDrive’s commitment to supporting partner drivers and reinforcing fair, transparent mobility in the region.
