Trans-cab floors the gas pedal on maiden partnership with Grab

7000 cab drivers will be using the app exclusively.

Singapore’s commuters will be experiencing notably faster booking times for on-demand cab trips as Grab teams up with Trans-cab in its first ever partnerships with a taxi operator.

According to a press release by Trans-cab, both companies will begin onboarding Trans-cab drivers who are new to Grab, adding to Grab’s largest land fleet of drivers in Singapore.

“Trans-cab drivers will have immediate access to Grab’s passenger base and technology that enables the efficient matching of passengers and drivers,” the report noted.

Meanwhile, Teo Kiang Ang, managing director of Trans-cab, said the partnership will support its drivers to earn higher incomes and will bring more ride bookings to the drivers.

“We are confident that this partnership, along with our low rental rates, is a win-win situation and will attract more drivers to join our fleet,” he said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
