Grab combines cabs and cars in new service

JustGrab will be available on 29 March.

The ride-hailing company has introduced JustGrab, a new service that combines fixed fare GrabTaxi and GrabCar vehicles.

The JustGrab service was beta-tested from 22 March, will be progressively rolled out to Grab’s tiered GrabRewards customers first, and will be available to the general public before month-end.

The JustGrab fleet comprises all HDT, Premier, Prime, SMRT, Trans-cab, and GrabCar driver-partners, forming the largest supply of on-demand vehicles in Singapore. Grab said the increased vehicle supply means JustGrab fares will fluctuate less and be more affordable throughout the day.

In addition, traditional taxi surcharges such as midnight and Central Business District charges no longer apply to JustGrab fares.

Melvin Vu, head of GrabTaxi Singapore, said, "JustGrab combines the strengths of taxis and cars to improve the efficiency and affordability of point-to- point transportation in Singapore. We are positive that JustGrab will help shave waiting time for rides by up to five minutes, and bring us closer to our goal of ensuring commuters get a Grab ride within three minutes every time."
