Gojek Singapore launches GoCar Nearby for short off-peak trips
It applies to trips under 5km, with fares capped at $9.90.
Gojek Singapore has introduced GoCar Nearby, a new service type offering capped fares for short trips booked during off-peak daytime hours.
The service is currently available across parts of eastern and north-eastern Singapore, with eligible fares capped at $9.90.
GoCar Nearby applies to trips under 5km booked during off-peak daytime hours.
When a trip meets the location, distance, and time criteria, the option will automatically appear on the booking screen in the Gojek app.
The $9.90 cap excludes standard platform add-ons and fees, including waiting fees, cancellation fees, ERP charges, and child seat surcharges.
Commuters will continue to earn yuu Points on GoCar Nearby trips and can use their existing points balance to offset the fare.
The service is also intended to generate additional demand during quieter daytime periods.
Driver-partner earnings for GoCar Nearby trips remain based on the original fare.
The initial rollout covers Pasir Ris, Tampines, Changi Business Park, Bedok, Bedok Reservoir, Kaki Bukit, Siglap, Bayshore, Paya Lebar, Geylang, MacPherson, Eunos, Punggol, Sengkang, Hougang, Serangoon, Potong Pasir, and Lorong Chuan.
Gojek said it will refine the service based on feedback from commuters and driver-partners during the initial phase, with a view to extending coverage to other parts of Singapore.
