Hype Transport Systems, Inc. is a vehicle for hire company established in the Philippines in 2018.[1] The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) accredited the company as part of efforts by the Philippine Department of Transportation to promote competition with Grab.[2] A feature that distinguishes Hype from Uber and other services that use mobile apps as their primary access point is that Hype Transport allows the use of older SMS technology as an alternative means for customers to use the service.[3]
