The carpooling market in the Philippines is a rapidly growing industry, driven by increasing traffic congestion, high transportation costs, and a growing awareness of the environmental benefits of carpooling. According to the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the number of vehicles on the road in the Philippines has been increasing at an annual rate of 7%. This has led to worsening traffic congestion, particularly in major cities like Metro Manila. The market size of carpooling in the Philippines is expected to grow in the next five years due to the increase in population, urbanization, and the rising cost of transportation.
