Green Points can be applied as discounts on the first seven trips. This offer is valid from June 10 to August 31, 2025, encouraging Metro Manila residents to embrace a smarter, greener, more modern way to travel. Founded in Vietnam in March 2023, GSM has emerged as a pioneer in sustainable transportation across Southeast Asia.
