Green GSM has expanded its all-electric taxi service to Northern Mindanao, adding a transport option for passengers in Cagayan de Oro, El Salvador, Laguindingan, Alubijud, and Opol.
The company formally launched the service in El Salvador on September 29, 2026, following a trial period that began in late August. Its announced coverage supports daily trips, travel between neighboring communities, and airport transfers.
Three ways to get a ride
Passengers can book through the Green GSM app, contact the company’s customer service hotline, or hail an available taxi on the street.
The coverage connects Cagayan de Oro with surrounding communities and the Laguindingan airport corridor, making the service relevant to both residents and visitors traveling through the region.
An all-electric fleet
Green GSM operates VinFast electric vehicles. The company says its drivers receive training in driving skills, professional conduct, and road safety, while fares are displayed through the app or official in-car meters.
The rollout follows earlier operations in Metro Manila, Central Visayas, and other parts of Mindanao. It extends electric taxi availability beyond the country’s largest metropolitan markets.
Building a wider transport network
Green SM Global CEO Pham Nhat Minh Hoang said the expansion forms part of the company’s plans to develop its Philippine network and work with local partners.
Green GSM also expects the operation to create additional opportunities for drivers. These are company expectations rather than reported employment results.
For passengers, the immediate change is another way to arrange trips across the covered cities and municipalities. Travelers can check Green GSM’s official website and app for service information.
