Grab launches carpooling service in Malaysia

Grab has launched GrabShare, the company's on-demand commercial carpooling service in Malaysia and the Philippines. With GrabShare, passenger demand for rides can be met more efficiently with the existing car supply which helps to play a role in reducing traffic congestion.“The service gets people to their destinations with at an optimal fare, while minimising the need for more cars on our roads by tapping on our pool of commercial GrabCar economy drivers. We are confident GrabShare will enable us to meet Malaysia’s growing passenger demand for ride-hailing especially to cater to first-and-last mile while helping our drivers earn more,” said Sean Goh, Grab Malaysia’s country head.GrabShare pairs just two different passenger bookings with similar trip routes within a single trip. Hence, passengers will only experience a maximum of two stops before reaching their destinations.
