inDrive grows driver-partners base to 20K as of Q1 2025
Ride-hailing firm inDrive has expanded its network of driver-partners to over 20,000 as of the first quarter of 2025.
In an interview in Quezon City on Thursday, inDrive Asia-Pacific head of driver operations Nikolay Olesov said the company is growing steadily since it resumed operations in June last year —after a five-month suspension ordered by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board over violations of the agency's fare matrix.
'We continue growing. We already have [over] 20,000 drivers,' Olesov said.
By the end of the year, inDrive is targeting to expand its network of driver-partners by 30% to 40%.
inDrive's ride-hailing services are currently available in six cities, namely Metro Manila, Bacolod, Baguio, Iloilo, Butuan, and Cagayan de Oro.
Asked if the company will bring its presence to more areas in the country this year, Olesov said, 'For now, we are focusing mostly in Metro Manila.'
'But for sure, in the future, we would like to extend our operations in the country,' he said.
Meanwhile, inDrive has signed a partnership with SEAOIL Philippines for the ride-hailing firm's 'Drive Loyalty Program,' under which its driver-partners will gain access to exclusive fuel discounts, priority cards, reward incentives, and additional perks from the fuel retailer's stations nationwide.
inDrive also honored its Top Platinum Driver for the first quarter 2025, 'recognizing excellence in service, rider satisfaction, and ride volume.' —RF, GMA Integrated News
