Uber lauds Senate committee’s support for ridesharing and carpooling to help #SolveTraffic

Reducing traffic is a vision Uber shares with the Philippines. On December 14, 2016, the Senate Committee on Public Services formally endorsed for plenary consideration their proposed emergency powers bill to tackle the longstanding problem of traffic in Metro Manila and other urban areas. With Senate Bill 1284, the Senate Committee has recognized the value and contribution of ridesharing and carpooling as a viable solution to traffic congestion. We look forward to continue working with the Philippine government in paving the way for the future of ridesharing and urban mobility in the country, with the support of our riders, drivers, and all our partners.
