UTOL a ride hailing app arrives in Iloilo City

Iloilo City- The Unified Transport Operations League (UTOL), a  ride hailing app, has arrived in Iloilo as they are all set  to launch their operations at the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel today, July 27.

The Boracay Island News Network (BINN) has assisted in the conduct of the press conference with the members of the Iloilo media during the corporate launch.

UTOL is an all-Filipino, app-powered ride-hailing service from Transport Network Company (TNC) that aims to address both the needs of the riding public and transport network vehicle service (TNVS) drivers and operators.

The ‘Utol’ brand name was derived from the Filipino slang word “utol,” meaning brother or sister, as the brand embodies the spirit of kinship and connectivity. It is rooted in the concept of providing seamless transportation solutions while fostering a sense of community among its users.

UTOL’s journey began with a vision to address the specific commuting challenges faced by Filipinos. Recognizing the importance of quality, affordability, and reliability in transportation services, its owners invested in developing a platform that caters to the unique needs of Filipino commuters and drivers alike.

In an Manila Bulletin report,  Rolando Maningas, Chairman and CEO of UTOL, emphasized the company’s aim to address passenger pain points. The company ensures as well that the passengers will have a smoother and more accessible e-hailing app experience, hence investing more in developing a user-friendly app interface with easier-to-understand languages, including mixed Tagalog-English. Its app was skillfully developed with the Filipino consumer in mind.

In terms of affordability, UTOL promises the lowest ride fees, as proven in their daily test runs.  Moreover, to ensure a quality experience, UTOL recognizes every rider’s challenges and makes sure that they provide solutions to them. The company understands the distinction between TNVS and TNC, saying that it’s not just about connecting drivers and passengers but also about bridging the gap between regulations and operations to ensure a seamless and compliant experience.

Recognizing the pivotal role drivers play in the success of any ride-hailing service, UTOL is dedicated to providing comprehensive support.
