Engaging your community in a condominium building
By taking part in initiatives where you can actually meet your fellow building residents, you can get opportunities to foster friendships and build stronger relationships with them too. Commuting is one simple way to interact with them regularly. By using the RideShare carpool program, you’ll get to meet and chat with even the most introverted of neighbors on the road, every day.
From getting to know your neighbors to finding common hobbies and interests, you’ll get to create a sense of warmth and belonging on your daily commute. Once you get to know your neighbors, you might even get to host fun and engaging neighborhood activities like basketball games, parties, and more.
You can get the opportunity to enjoy a close-knit community when you make use of this incredibly helpful online platform. You’ll also get to travel and commute more sustainably when you take advantage of this unique carpooling service.

Connecting condo units, moving residents
Sharing a ride doesn’t just allow you to connect with your neighbors – it also helps you live smarter and more sustainably, too. By hitching a ride with other people, you can reduce the number of cars on the road, thus decreasing the number of vehicles taking space on Metro Manila’s incredibly congested streets. You’ll also reduce your overall carbon footprint with fewer cars, leading to better air quality and a healthier environment for everyone in the city.
If you don’t need to travel far for your daily travels, you can always try walking or biking for a more active lifestyle. But if you need a car – and you probably do – sharing a ride is your best option for a comfortable and convenient commute in the city.

The DMCI Communities Rideshare app
The RideShare feature on your DMCI Communities app is the way forward for all your commuting needs. With its convenient services exclusive to residents in Metro Manila properties, you can enjoy a safe, comfy, and convenient travel experience for all your future travels around town.
Not convinced? Let’s assess your other transportation options around Metro Manila and compare their various pros and cons:
- Public transportation – This transportation solution can be cheap and affordable, making it accessible to a wide range of residents. However, public transportation in Metro Manila can also be inefficient, crowded, and time-consuming – especially during peak commuting hours.
- Private vehicles – Having your own car or motorcycle means you can get around the city conveniently and at your own pace. But a private vehicle comes with its disadvantages, like high purchase and maintenance costs, parking dues, and additional traffic congestion and pollution overall.
- Ride-hailing services – These types of transport services can be convenient, accessible, and potentially cheaper than owning your own vehicle. But just like driving your own car, riding a private vehicle on your own can contribute to more traffic congestion, and may not be as cost-effective for frequent commuters.
- Walking or biking – These are the two healthiest and most environmentally friendly modes of travel, especially when traveling short distances. However, walking or biking short distances implies limited range, and they won’t be as convenient on extremely hot or rainy days either.

With all these advantages and disadvantages in mind, it’s no wonder that this digital RideShare carpool program is the preferred travel option. Here are the biggest and most attractive benefits of this unique service:
- Cost-effectiveness – The app’s carpool program is considered more affordable than other ride-hailing services, especially for frequent commuters with regular routes within the condo community.
- Convenience – This service provides a convenient and reliable transportation option that can be easily accessed in just a few taps.
- Community engagement – You’ll get to know your fellow commuters a lot more closely, fostering interactions and a sense of community with neighbors who frequently use the program.
- Sustainability – By sharing your rides with other commuters, you’ll all use fewer vehicles overall – reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions in the long run.
- Exclusivity – Because this is an exclusive program, you can enjoy a safer and more private commuting experience, unlike when you use public transportation or other ride-hailing services.
