Taxi booking app GrabTaxi is drawing crowds of taxi drivers with its incentives. The mobile app service, despite being interrupted by some bugs, has grown significantly and now has the second largest network of taxis in Singapore.
Speaking to The Straits Times, cabby Wong Hao Min said he has been earning up to $40 more each day since he started using GrabTaxi three months ago, which brings his daily collection to more than $250. He added that the app helps him find at least five more jobs a day, and is especially useful in helping him pick up passengers in remote areas such as Tuas.
The app works by linking commuters and taxi drivers, and despite some of its issues, many commuters polled by The Sunday Times revealed that the app has made it much easier to find a cab.
General Manager of GrabTaxi Singapore Lim Kell Jay declined to reveal the number of users, but revealed that it now has the second largest taxi network here - trailing only ComfortDelgro.
