Traveling through Singapore’s public transport can be a hassle, especially when you are bringing young kids with you. Because of that, ride sharing platforms like Grab and Uber quickly rose to prominence. However, those two became unviable for the masses. Uber ceased its operations in Singapore, and Grab’s rates experienced tremendous increases in pricing. In this article, we will discuss about the best carpooling alternatives to Grab and Uber. Without further ado, let’s start:
Ryde Singapore
Ryde initially started as just a simple carpool Singapore application. However, the company has since launched RydeX, a private vehicle hiring service provider not too long ago. As opposed to Grab, RydeX provides booked service that is dependent on reservations made ahead of time. Users can book their rides for as early as 10 minutes before the ride, or up to a week in advance. The average waiting times on booking is around 20 minutes.
Information on the pricing model continues to be unclear. However, Terence Zou , the chief executive of Ryde has guaranteed that the smaller commission rate that they charge their drivers (which is only 10 percent compared to the 20 percent commission that Grab and Uber takes) will mean reduced prices for commuters. It is also revealed that fixed rate trips will comprise of surcharges as well as ERP charges, and its dynamic rates will vary depending on the supply and demand.
One of the features of the app is the ability to effortlessly display what is the cost of your ride on their platform, as well as other ride sharing platforms like Grab, allowing you to compare without opening and toggling among applications just to see who have the lowest rates. Ryde is available for download on both the App Store and Google Play.
Jugnoo
Jugnoo is another competitor to the private vehicle hire sector in Singapore. Jugnoo, an Indian company, emphasized on the freedom of control on ride prices that they provide to their users. They feature a reverse bidding process for booking rides with their users. Basically, it goes like this: whenever a customer creates a booking, Jugnoo drivers will give their bid for the ride. The drivers can either choose to go with the suggested price set by Jugnoo or go 10 percent lower or higher than the base price. The driver can also enter their own amount if they prefer.
Meanwhile, customers can make their choice of the driver that they want. With Jugnoo, you can choose a driver based on their rating, wait time, and the ride price that they bid. Jugnoo is already in full operation in Singapore, so you can give it a try for yourself. Jugnoo is a great ride sharing app that will let you choose your drivers carefully, read their ratings and review before booking with them, and choose the one that best suits your budget. You can download their mobile app now in Apple’s App Store or Google Play Store.
