Perhaps the best advantage is the no booking fee feature. The price on the metered taxi is the only amount that you will pay for.
The app also protects commuters of unscrupulous practices by some taxi drivers. They cannot just top up on the fare and they cannot deny passengers a ride.
Safety Features
To ensure passenger safety and convenience, the hirna taxi hailing app has included the following features:
- Track My Ride – so you can send a notification to your loved ones about your whereabouts
- Driver and Vehicle Rating System – so you rate the driver’s performance and the overall situation of his vehicle. You may give the rating anonymously, so also be prudent about it.

Trying It Out
So I hailed a ride with hirna to try out their service. It was pretty easy and fast, too. It was lunchtime along La Salle Avenue and was raining. Moreover, this area is congested plus with the rain and rush hour, it should have been hard to make a booking.

But in less than a minute, I was connected to a driver of Angels in Us. And in another two minutes, he was already stopping in front of me. Awesome! What a sweet ride!

The driver and I were both pretty excited with the new experience. I was his first customer right after the big launch here in Bacolod City. So we also excitedly chatted during the ride.
