A RIDE-HAILING application will cut off the major roads in their maps that are included in the Sinulog route.

Grab Cebu senior city manager, Raymond Dejan, told SunStar Cebu that Grab users can't book in areas where the Sinulog will take place.

"We basically cropped out the locations because aside from it being closed to vehicles, there's no signal also," Dejan said.

He said that they set parameters where Grab drivers can drop off their passengers.

"For example, their destination is the Basilica Minore Del Santo Niño, then we can only drop them in Pier 3. That's the farthest that we can take them," he said.

Dejan said that they followed the routes that were stated in the map provided by the Cebu City Government and clarified that they would still be able to transport passengers in Cebu.

"Yes were are operational during that time and we are just around waiting for the signal turn on," he said.

Grab Cebu is set to release their official press release for the complete information on their operations during the Sinulog shut off.

The signal shut off is set on January 19, Saturday to January 20, Sunday.
