No car or jeepney? Try 'GrabHorse' in Baguio

MANILA - Grab is bringing its app booking service to Baguio City using a different mode of transportation.

Grab Philippines said that from February 26 to 28, it will provide its app users a free horseback ride within Wright Park, Mines View, The Mansion, and Pacdal Area to celebrate the annual Panagbenga Festival.

"Experience something different this Panagbenga season! If you’re within Wright Park, Mines View, The Mansion, and Pacdal Area, enjoy a free ride when you book a GrabHorse," Grab said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.


The service will be available through the Grab app from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

GrabHorse is the latest service of Grab, the company behind the GrabCar and GrabTaxi service, which provides commuters with convenient booking options using a mobile app.

The company also recently launched an EDSA-bound jeepney service called GrabJeep in Metro Manila.

Last year, the firm rolled out GrabBike, but the service was suspended by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board LTFRB due to regulation issues. It also offered a chopper service, GrabHeli, for a limited time.

Aside from the Philippines, Grab also operates in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
