After years of back and forth, Grab has finally found a way to launch their bike ride sharing service in Malaysia. The service will be undergoing a 6 month trial and here are some of the facts we know.
Only four drop off areas can use the service:
- KLCC
- Bukit Bintang
- Pudu
- Chow Kit
The fare is structured as follows:
- Base fare: RM3.70
- Service fee: RM0.30
- 3km-5.5km: RM0.55 per additional km
- 5.5km and above: RM1 per additional km
- Cancellation fee: RM2 if you cancel 5 minutes after booking or if driver waits more than 2 minutes for you
Safety/other tips:
- Not recommended when raining
- Only takes 1 passenger
- Helmet will be provided but you may bring your own optionally
We headed to Chow Kit for lunch today to grab a screenshot for ourselves:
Other bike ride hailing apps like Dego Ride and Gojek are trialing their services in Malaysia as well.
