Ride-hailing operators Grab, Gojek, TADA and CDG Zig in Singapore will hike their platform fees by up to 50 Singapore cents (37 U.S. cents) starting Jan. 1, 2025.
Grab, the largest ride-hailing firm, will raise its platform fee from 70 cents to 90 cents per trip. For its food, groceries and parcel delivery services, fees will go up from 40 cents to 60 cents.
It said the new “platform & partner fee” will support Central Provident Fund contributions, work injury compensation coverage and other welfare initiatives for its platform workers, as well as platform maintenance and service improvements.
Similarly, Gojek will raise its platform fee from 30 cents to 50 cents per trip, saying these changes are to “protect drivers and their earnings in support of the Bill” on top of improving and maintaining its services.
ComfortDelGro, the largest taxi operator in Singapore, will follow suit and raise its platform fee from the current rate of 70 cents to S$1-1.2, based on factors such as distance and travel time.
As for TADA, fees per ride will go up by 50 cents, excluding goods and services tax. It noted that besides maintaining current features and developing new ones to provide a better ride-hailing experience, this adjustment is also essential to support the implementation of the government’s Platform Workers Bill.
