MANILA, Philippines – XPRESS Super App, the country’s newest multi-transport ride-hailing platform, is redefining retirement by inviting senior citizens to embrace a vibrant “2nd life” after their careers. Inspired by Japan’s progressive employment model, a recent report by the Japan Business Federation revealed that in 2022, the employment rate for individuals aged 60 and older reached 25.2%, significantly higher than in the United States (18.6%) and the United Kingdom (10.9%). This encouraging data has fueled XPRESS’s mission to ensure that retirement is a time of purpose and renewal.
Designed with simplicity in mind, the XPRESS app features large, easy-to-read icons, and the company provides smartphones along with personalized training for those unfamiliar with modern technology. “We believe everyone deserves a chance to stay active and engaged,” an XPRESS spokesperson stated.
In a groundbreaking collaboration with BYD, XPRESS offers drivers the opportunity to avail Hybrid and EV loans, making sustainable vehicle ownership more accessible. During a limited-time transition period, drivers using electric EV or hybrid vehicles benefit from a 0% commission program, allowing them to maximize earnings while supporting eco-friendly transportation.
Furthering its commitment to inclusivity, XPRESS has introduced the Negosyo Program in partnership with Cebuana Lhuillier. This initiative provides exclusive financing options for driver partners across Metro Manila and key cities nationwide like Bataan, removing barriers to EV adoption.
XPRESS also addresses driver shortages during rush hours by welcoming both senior riders and drivers. With specific age requirements for 2-wheel Moto Taxis (20-60) and 4-wheel Car Taxis (20-65), additional doctor’s fit-to-drive certification for riders or drivers aged 60-65, and an active professional Philippine driver’s license, XPRESS is paving the way for a more inclusive, sustainable future. Every active booking is insured for both the rider/driver and their passenger to ensure top-notch coverage.|
