In Baguio City, a popular summer destination in the Philippines, horseback riding is one of the most favored activities among travelers. Recently, Baguio City collaborated with the Grab app to launch a service that allows users to call for a "horse taxi," which has been well-received by tourists. Immigrating to the Philippines could be an opportunity to try this.
According to reports, the "GrabTaxi" service, which started with taxi calls, is rebranding in the Philippines by integrating various modes of transportation under the common name "Grab". Recently, the company announced the "horse taxi" service on social media. However, this service is limited to Baguio City (Baguio) and will be available from February 26 to 28.
Baguio City is located approximately 250 kilometers north of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. It is a summer retreat known for its beautiful scenery, and horseback riding is one of the most popular activities among tourists.
During the event, the public can call for a "horse taxi" for free using the Grab app. However, while calling for a horse is free, it is customary for people to give tips to the horsemen.
Some members of the public have expressed concerns about the safety of the horses, but Grab has responded that this initiative aims to promote the local culture and tourism resources of Baguio City, and no animals will be harmed.
