Uber and CDG merge private-hire and taxi fleets in new app

UberFLASH can be subjected to surge pricing.

ComfortDelGro Corporation Ltd (CDG) and Uber Technologies launched an application for their new ride-hailing service, UberFLASH, today.

According to a press release, the combined fleet of private-hire cars and taxis are available on the app.

The upfront fares of the ride will be shown upon booking, however, they may be subject to dynamic pricing when "demand is high."

Singapore Business Review previously reported that CDG and Uber entered a joint venture deal which combined the companies' fleet.

Uber's Lion City Holdings has a 14,000-strong fleet, whilst CDG has taxis of over 10,182.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
