Sakay.ph, a helpful app for Pinoy commuters

 

Google Maps and Waze may be a big boon to commuters, but they may not quite help Filipinos commuting by bus, jeep, or train get to their destinations.

 

Enter Sakay.ph, a solution that guides commuters on what to ride via the browsers on their smartphones.

 

"Sakay.ph is a web service and app that helps people use jeepneys, buses, and trains in Metro Manila. It's like Google Maps or Waze, but for commuting! It was originally built as an entry to the Philippine Transit App Challenge (PTAC), where it won the Open Community Award," the developers said.

 

While the present version supports mainly Metro Manila, the developers aim to expand outwards.

 

 

Currently, the app is available for Apple and Android.

 

And for those who could not afford a smartphone, an SMS-based solution is in the works. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
