Have you heard of "Concur"? It is related to corporate customers.

Krafty has a point. I am waiting for the first case of a 23 year old apps driver taking advantage of a mini skirted drunk female and in the case of jw5, male passenger.

The GLC is a factor. But when Temasek owns stakes in both Comfort and Grab, Ho ching has already hedged her bets.

It's 2016. Why do you still believe in brick and mortar? Haven't you heard what happened to HMV? Borders?

u forgot PAP own the companies,the unions and the law making machinery in Singapore here,its tripartism.as long as PAP controls everything we can remain in whatever century we want to,singapore can even be modeled after north korea,a 1960s ish dystopian.do you honestly think singapore is truly free market?its 2015 and singapore is only just beginning to consider 4th telco license and license for SMRT to do dunno goddam what......

You were in the taxi trade and you are now into investment so you should be aware what is going on. Grab app biggest customers on the taxi side are Comfort drivers. They use both Comfort and Grab Apps. Temasek has invested in Grab so has AliBaba and SoftBank. It operates in 30 cities in South East Asia and on the customer side, their growth is 6 times each year for the last 2 years.

The Comfort taxi drivers who use Grab app are smart as they cover both options and operate with a bigger catchment pool of customers. Eventually the customer will come to a stage where one of the app will be his default and all signs indicate it will Grab. Why do you think Temasek invested in it more than 2 years ago.

SMRT is also partnering Grab.

The CTO of Grab came from Google and not from NTU. The founders came from Malaysia and not Singapore.

Thought the TS mentioned if comfort drivers use grab to get customers that ride is not covered by insurance? To give you credit the article link you provided mentioned comfort taxi drivers also use grab to get customers.


Why do you care if they come from mudland or sinkie or from which uni and google?

you really think ho jinx so smart to hedge against her own glc toy. it's another propaganda to show the vested interest gahment have for start-up companies. look at how gahment has been echoing entrepreneur spirit to the young blooded sinkies.

certain business is more suited to brick and mortar model, remember dot com boom...:p
