Go-Jek drivers are able to "complete" a ride without actually doing so, giving them the liberty to wilfully charge riders without even picking them up.
Go-Jek Singapore has announced in an email that starting from this evening (2 Jan), it "will extend [its] ride-hailing services to the whole of Singapore".
Ride-hailing giant Uber hopes to launch its IPO at a US$120 billion target valuation, while the company remains unprofitable for its 9th year.
Grab will collect real-time vehicle information to tailor fleet management, automative insurance, and vehicle management services.
Both firms will work together on flexible financial aid for people considering to buy a motorbike to work on Grab's platform.
Cheap fares come hand in hand with promo codes, but Grab Singapore's head Lim Kell Jay said that the firm will not be pushing out perks to rival Go-Jek.
"I would certainly like to use Go-Jek Singapore more often because I'm getting tired of using Grab and waiting ages for a ride."
While there will be promotions at the start, Go-Jek does not want to focus on these and pricing to be the firm's key differentiator from its rivals.

DBS card holders have priority access and special perks on Go-Jek's beta app, which just launched in Singapore on 29 November.
Drivers are required to earn 110 virtual “diamonds” in order to get the incentive or bonus worth IDR 15,000 (about US$1).
