Xpress EV Taxi Launches at PITX, Strengthening Passenger Safety at the Country’s Largest Transport Hub

Full-time, screened drivers and 24/7 EV fleet now serving commuters at PITX Terminal 3 entrance.

MANILA, Philippines — As passenger traffic continues to rise at the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), mobility platform Xpress Super App has officially deployed its Xpress EV Taxi fleet within the terminal — introducing a structured, safety-first taxi system powered entirely by electric vehicles.

Located at the Terminal 3 entrance, the Xpress EV Taxi pick-up point operates 24 hours daily, offering passengers a regulated, app-booked alternative to traditional street-hail systems.

According to data from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), road safety incidents in Metro Manila remain a key public concern, particularly in high-density transport corridors. With PITX serving thousands of provincial and city-bound commuters daily, ensuring verified drivers and traceable bookings has become increasingly critical.

Xpress EV Taxi addresses this gap by deploying:

Full-time, salaried drivers

Government-mandated benefits

Digitally recorded trips via the Xpress app

24/7 availability

Electric vehicles reducing noise and emissions inside the terminal

Unlike informal pick-up systems, all Xpress bookings are routed through the app, creating trip visibility, fare transparency, and route traceability for passengers.

“This is about structured mobility inside critical infrastructure,” said the partnership manager representative of Xpress Super App. “When passengers arrive at PITX — often late at night or carrying luggage — safety, predictability, and professionalism matter. We’ve built this deployment around that.”

The electric fleet consists of BYD EV units, reinforcing Xpress’ push toward sustainable urban transport while improving passenger experience inside enclosed terminal environments.

In coordination with PITX management, the deployment includes:

A dedicated queuing lane

On-ground uniformed staff assisting passengers

Clear Xpress EV Taxi signage at the terminal

Integrated dashboard monitoring for terminal oversight

Passengers may book through the Xpress Super App and proceed directly to the designated pick-up area.

With PITX positioned as a flagship intermodal hub in the Philippines, Xpress’ entry signals a shift toward structured, app-based electric mobility within national transport gateways.
