The latest partnership makes use of a range of connectivity and communication options, emphasizing PLDT Enterprise's role in enabling local players and promoting innovative business models.
JoyRide plans integrate PLDT Enterprise's fixed and wireless technologies, such as Smart Messaging Suite, Smart Bro, Bizload, Smart Postpaid, SIP Trunk, and Direct Subscriber Line, in order to adapt to the ever-changing landscape and enhance operations. These products are designed to meet JoyRide's expanding operating demands across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, including Metro Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Cebu, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Naga, Legaspi, and Pampanga. Furthermore, the recently established JoyRide Bus service on the SuperApp allows commuters to go to Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Baguio, and Cagayan via Victory Liner.

JoyRide's use of digital technologies improves operational efficiency and business continuity, demonstrating the rising integration of technology in businesses that contribute to the digital economy. This partnership also supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals, namely SDG 9, by promoting resilient infrastructure and sustainable industrialization. Furthermore, JoyRide supports national initiatives such as the Public Transport Modernization Program, which integrated 85% of public utility vehicles to build a safer and more environmentally friendly transportation system.
