What's Dingdong Hatid's Edge Vs. Other Ride-Hailing Services?

Booking rides may become a lot less harder for commuters, with another player entering the local motorcycle taxi market. 

“Dingdong Hatid,” the newest venture under Dingdong.ph, was launched on April 7. It now operates with around 100,000 registered riders.

But the question is: what sets Dingdong Hatid apart from other ride-hailing services?

Dingdong's edge

For one thing, Dingdong Hatid offers relatively more affordable options for commuters compared to Angkas, JoyRide, or MoveIt.

Booking a one-way ride from SM Megamall - Building B to the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITx), for example, will cost you P210 on Angkas.

But on Dingdong Hatid, the same route costs P206. It's virtually the same price as those offered by competing services, like MoveIt, which is at P205, and JoyRide, which is P203.

Meanwhile, if you’re heading to the Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati from Gateway Mall in Cubao, these are how much you may need to pay: P162 for Angkas, P158 for Dingdong Hatid, P153 for JoyRide, and P148 for MoveIt.

Features you may not easily find in other motorcycle-hailing apps

Dingdong Hatid, which is powered by RiderKo, also boasts a triple security feature, ensuring safety for its passengers. 

In-app safety measures include an SOS emergency button directly connected to Dingdong's operations headquarters; an automated ICE (in case of emergency) contact tracking; and live agent assistance.

This is why, upon registering, you'll be prompted to tap in your emergency contact details.

Features such as on-demand, QR-enabled, and scheduled bookings, as well as preferred riders, are also available for the convenience of passengers.
