Uber and CDG merge private-hire and taxi fleets in new app

UberFLASH can be subjected to surge pricing.

ComfortDelGro Corporation Ltd (CDG) and Uber Technologies launched an application for their new ride-hailing service, UberFLASH, today.

According to a press release, the combined fleet of private-hire cars and taxis are available on the app.

The upfront fares of the ride will be shown upon booking, however, they may be subject to dynamic pricing when "demand is high."

Singapore Business Review previously reported that CDG and Uber entered a joint venture deal which combined the companies' fleet.

Uber's Lion City Holdings has a 14,000-strong fleet, whilst CDG has taxis of over 10,182.

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.
