SINGAPORE – Passengers booking cross-border rides through Grab will now be able to do so at least six hours ahead, instead of 12 hours in advance.
Since cross-border taxis were made available through its app on May 4, Grab has recorded more than 1,000 rides, the company said on May 29.
The shorter advance booking window will allow passengers to schedule trips closer to their departure times, it said. Once a cross-border booking has been confirmed, they will receive a push notification reminding them to book their return journey immediately.
These updates will “enhance the travel experience”, said Grab, which is also offering a 30 per cent discount on all cross-border rides booked from May 29 to June 28, up from the 20 per cent discount previously offered.
Mr Alvin Wee, Grab Singapore’s senior director of transport and country operations, said: “With the June holidays coming, we expect an increase in Singapore-Malaysia trips among families and friends, and we look forward to supporting such travel needs.”
