Based on data from the Congressional Policy and Budget Research Department (CPBRD), daily volume of motorcycles around Metro Manila quadrupled to 1.67 million in 2023, from 433,340 in 2013, the largest increase among all vehicle types.
The CPBRD said motorcycle traffic in the region grew on the growing popularity of e-commerce deliveries and the spiking demand for two-wheeled transport.
Notably, motorcycle taxi service pioneer Angkas started operating its business in 2016 and was followed by other providers like JoyRide PH and Move It. As such, the birth of motorcycle taxis was flagged as one of the reasons for the rise in two-wheel presence in Metro Manila.
