Grab a cab with Globe

MANILA, Philippines -As the Christmas season approaches, there are things that we are bound to expect. There are Christmas ornaments, the treats and gifts, and back-to-back reunions.  But there is one thing that is everybody’s concern when the carols start playing and the cool air starts blowing — the inevitable Christmas rush all over the Metro.

With all the Christmas parties and events, mall-wide sales and last-minute shopping happening, we know exactly how the traffic situation will look like, including the dreaded, crazy commute and the pursuit for the most friendly and accommodating cab driver. This is why Globe Telecom the mobile data service provider of choice, partnered with Grab Taxi, the country’s phenomenal taxi-booking app, to lift the burden off hailing a random cab, and give you access to safe and guaranteed cab rides anytime, anywhere, just by using your trusty mobile phone.

In time for the season of gift giving, Globe and Grab Taxi throw in the best deal for its valued subscribers and patrons.
