Anyone know how this works in practice? Is Grab somehow able to rebrand the Uber app with Google/Apple's blessing? I'm really curious.

- cinquemb 9y agoUber sent out an email for people to download Grab, since it will no longer work in SE Asia after the 8th of April[0]. Personally, so far, I'm not impressed with grab's software and epayments infrastructure in Indonesia, compared to uber where I can use my card and pay for any of my wifes/friends usage without having to think about things like topping up or buying credits (though to be fair, a lot of platforms in Indonesia [maybe even SE Asia] seem to have the same situation regarding payments, with worse software). Maybe this will change, but right now it feels like a demotion. Here's to hoping a decentralized platform for ride hailing can come into existence in the future and remove the reliance on SoftBank's will to unify the market on their terms.
