Products / Case Studies

Information

Metro Manila was placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) from March 15 to May 31 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this period, public transport was suspended. Transportation for medical frontliners was instead provided by city governments, Department of Transportation, and the Office of the Vice President. Were these routes enough to cover transport demand during ECQ?

SakaySakay provides the most accurate and efficient commuting directions in Metro Manila. We offer smart directions to public transportation users by mixing both formal (buses and trains) and informal (jeepneys, tuktuks, matatus, trikes, etc...) modes, which makes our directions better than Google Maps and others. Sakay also doesn’t just show you directions — it also gives you a fare estimate and your estimated time of arrival. Sakay is the first Filipino startup to get into Betatron, a Hong Kong-based startup accelerator with an acceptance rate of 0.6%. Sakay is available on the web, and for download on the App Store and on Google Play.
