Green GSM will operate in 10 out of 16 cities within Metro Manila using an exclusive fleet of VinFast Nerio Green electric vehicles known for their zero emissions.
“The fleet’s signature cyan color embodies Green GSM’s vision of a modern lifestyle that respects and protects the planet,” states GSM.
The company emphasizes that choosing their service means contributing to reduced carbon emissions while enjoying a premium transport solution.
Green GSM operates under international standards with professionally trained drivers and uses a Secure to Safe (S2S) monitoring system focused on security, safety, and smart operations.
Fares are calculated transparently through in-car meters displayed on their app which promises competitive pricing compared to conventional services.
