Uber said the option will be available to all its users in the Philippines by Saturday next week.
Ride-sharing services like Uber and its competitor, Grab, are popular in the Philippines at a time when traffic congestion in metro cities have become a daily misery.
The traffic situation in Metro Manila, home to roughly one-tenth of the country’s 100 million people, causes up to 2.4 billion in losses to the economy every day, according to a Japanese study.
