KUCHING: Grab, Malaysia’s leading preferred ride hailing service will be extending their JustGrab service here on January 15. This follows the successful launch of the service in Penang, Langkawi, Melaka, Johor Bharu, and Kota Kinabalu and Klang Valley last year.
Similar to other cities, JustGrab will combine the efficiency of both GrabTaxi and GrabCar vehicles under one service and will offer the following benefits to passengers:
* Shorter waiting time: Access to a larger network of vehicles in the vicinity means shorter waiting time for passengers.
* Price transparency: Fares are displayed upfront on the booking screen, giving the passengers full knowledge and certainty of their trip fares before making their bookings. This means, regardless if they eventually get a taxi of car, their fares are as per the app (excluding tolls).
* More travel options at different price points: JustGrab complements Grab’s existing GrabTaxi and GrabCar services to offer commuters another point-to-point ondemand travel option. Commuters who prefer metered fares can continue to use GrabTaxi, those who only prefer private-hire cars can go for GrabCar, while those who want a ride with minimum waiting time will choose JustGrab.
“Our objective to introduce JustGrab is not just part of our ongoing efforts to keep improving our services and local transport services, but most importantly to support the government’s initiative and provide a level playing field for the taxi and transport industry in Malaysia, which has always been our mission.
This also supports the government’s advocacy for more taxi drivers to embrace digital economy and register to a ride hailing service as a more efficient approach to improve their income,” said Justin Tiew, Head of GrabCar & GrabTaxi, Non-Klang Valley.
First launched in Singapore (May 2017) and Thailand (August 2017), JustGrab has been well-received by passengers and driver-partners alike for its simplicity, faster journeys and upfront fare pricing that is displayed on the app before a booking is made.
To use JustGrab now and enjoy shorter waiting times, users can download the Grab app from the Google Playstore or App Store.
