uberpool loh
The battle between ride-hailing services Grab and Uber continues, with Grab now looking to roll out a car-pooling feature, just months after its rival started a similar service.
GrabShare will allow passengers to share a ride with a stranger going in the same direction, for a lower fare. Sources said the launch could be in the next few weeks.
The car-pooling option will likely be available to customers using Grab's private-hire GrabCar service.
Grab currently has another car-pooling service called GrabHitch, but it uses a separate group of drivers who ferry others on a not-for-profit basis. This will not be scrapped, sources said.
When asked, the firm declined to reveal details about the new product, including the fares it will charge but a Grab spokesman said it is "constantly experimenting with new point-to-point transport offerings".
The car-pooling option will likely be available to customers using Grab's private-hire GrabCar service.
However, Grab drivers, speaking to The Straits Times, said that since last month, the firm has been notifying them about GrabShare via e-mail, and requiring them to undergo training.
Private-hire car driver Chase Phang, 39, said: "GrabShare seems like the same product to compete with UberPool."
In July, Uber launched a car-pooling option for its UberX service called UberPool, which offers customers fares of up to 25 per cent less if they share rides.
In the Uber model, users indicate before making a booking if they want to share their rides. Uber then matches passengers headed in the same direction, and notifies drivers via the app if there are other people to pick up along the way.
If there are no matches, the passenger takes the ride alone, but he will still pay the UberPool fare, which is quoted upfront, at the time of booking.
About one in every three UberX trips in Singapore is car-pooled.
Assistant Professor Yang Nan, from the National University of Singapore Business School's strategy and policy department, said it was not surprising that both start-ups are experimenting with new ideas, and learning from each other in an industry that is still developing.
However, there can be downsides too. He said: "When product offerings become more similar, it is usually pretty bad news for the competing firms. If differentiation fails... competition often comes down to price wars."
While customers benefit in the short run, Prof Yang said: "In the long run, if the mark-ups are so thin that firms can't survive on them and the market becomes too concentrated, it's probably not good for consumers."
Former equity analyst Eric Teo, 42, who has used the UberPool service, said car-pooling offers another commuting option, as the cost is somewhere between taking a taxi and that of taking a bus.
He said: "I use it when I'm not in a rush, as making a detour to pick up the other passenger and drop him off could add another 10 minutes to 20 minutes to my journey."
December onwards
Grab change to all assignments ONLY
taxi drivers please be careful.
i took corporate job on Saturday until today *thursday i still haven't get the taxi fare of $50.05
Took a uberx ride,short trip,fare equivalent to taxi.can even pay by cash!waiting time less than 5mins!fare only $6.20.gave $8,ask him keep change.mean time saw a lot of green lanterns roaming about!if this go on,I think a lot of night taxi drvrs will suffer.most of the Uber drvrs r youngsters.
The Uber apps for paxs can be downloaded fr google playstore,in less than 5 mins,I was using the apps to book a ride!it's that simple.so i tell all taxi drvrs better wake up now.we r in a very bad situation now.
hanor hanor
this afternoon i uberpool, the driver looks like poly student
Once u book a Uberx ride accidentally,u virtually cant cancel the job.until now i still cant figure out how to cancel a job!so u see that,s why u can see some paxs force to take the ride!if only our taxi coy is that smart!u can either pay by credit or cash.I paid cash n give $1tip!
Now please take note,Uber has discontinue their Uber taxi,their apps dont have taxis highlighted!
u can cancel before the request has been accepted
press and hold the X at the bottom middle of the screen
if ur request accepted liao then u wanna cancel also can
but u may need to pay a $5 penalty unless u give reasons that it's not your fault
eg, driver did not turn up, waiting time too long, driver cancelled...........

It appears that both Uber n Grab r undercutting their fares which is lower than taxi's,which is unfair.they r not playing on a level playing field!
