Slightly related - it's the same situation in Singapore when GrabTaxi "merged" with Uber.
After Uber pulled out, Grab stopped handing out promotion codes that would save you anywhere from $2-5 bucks per trip (or occasionally more), and they slashed the rate you earn reward points for every dollar spent by ~13-16 times.
Grab became the market, quite literally. It's such a drastic change in just a matter of weeks, and what makes it worse is that there is practically no competition in the ride-hailing scene over here (for now, at least, and hopefully).
- toomuchtodo 8y agoAre there no taxis in Singapore?
- half0wl 8y agoI was referring to ride-hailing _apps_ specifically, my bad. Anecdotally, I don't have good experiences with taxis here, and sometimes they're more expensive than Grab.
- inawarminister 8y agoGojek haven't tried to penetrate the SG market huh? They're fighting Grab in Thailand and Philippines for now I think.
- half0wl 8y agoThey confirmed they're launching in SG a couple of months back, but there has been no further news yet :-/
