Quick answers for everyday Filipino commuters.

Think kasama sa biyahe — sharing a trip with people going the same way, not booking a private ride just for you.

What is LakBai?

LakBai is a carpooling app. If a driver is already heading somewhere, they can offer empty seats. If you need a ride that way, you can hop in and share the cost.

It’s not Grab, Angkas, or JoyRide — and it’s not a taxi.

What is carpooling / ride sharing?

It’s simple: people going the same direction share one car.

On apps like Grab, a driver is sent to pick you up for a private ride. On LakBai, you join a trip that’s already planned — same route, shared seats, shared cost.

How is LakBai different from Grab, Angkas, or JoyRide?

Need a ride now? Grab-style apps are great for that. Can plan ahead? LakBai is built for sharing the road.

Who can use LakBai?

Anyone with a regular route — work, school, province trips, weekend plans — who wants a more affordable way to get there.

One account is enough. You can ride as a passenger or drive and offer seats, whichever you need.

How do I get started?

Download the app, create an account, and you’re in. Search for a trip if you need a seat, or post one if you’re driving. The app will keep you updated along the way.
