Grab adds Safety Measures for its Partner-Drivers

You will need to present an ID before booking a ride

Ride-sharing service Grab has been dealing with several issues: most recently it involved one of their model drivers—Gerardo Maquidato Jr—being shot dead by carnappers disguised as passengers. It is really unfortunate and saddening to hear such news, but Grab is coordinating with the PNP’s Highway Patrol Group (HPG) and Pasay City Police to hunt down the suspects.

As a response to this incident, Grab has started to impose stricter measures when it comes to booking rides.

First, riders need to present a valid ID first before boarding. This is to ensure the safety of drivers, especially during night hours. it may sound inconvenient to most of us, but if it is for our safety’s sake, then this should be a welcome development from Grab.

In addition, riders should be specific with their pick up and drop off points, as their partner-drivers will only follow what riders have set.

If you ask us, this is a good move from Grab, and we will not be surprised if Uber will implement similar measures to further strengthen the safety of passengers who choose to book rides with transport network companies (TNCs) over taxis.

What do you think of this new development? Comment down below!
