GoJek's beta app is now launched in Singapore, kickstarting the regional strategic partnership between GoJek and DBS.

Consumers in Singapore hungry for more ride-hailing choices will finally get to try GoJek’s service with the launch of the beta version of its app, which will be made available for download from iOS and Android app stores in Singapore on Thursday.

«We are thrilled to bring to our customers privileged access to GoJek’s highly-anticipated ride-hailing services,» said Shee Tse Koon, group head of strategy and planning of DBS Bank in a media release.

Perks for DBS/POSB customers

During the beta phase, access to the app will be granted in batches to balance ride demand and service capabilities. DBS/POSB customers in Singapore will be guided by the app to find out how they can be prioritised on the waitlist, and receive a S$5 voucher credit for each of their first two rides.

«Transport is an integral part of our everyday lives, and we are committed to working with our partners to help make it more seamless for people to travel and pay in Singapore,» added Shee.

Roll-out In Phases
A staggered approach is adopted by GoJek to ensure a smooth entry into the Singapore ride-hailing market and an ongoing effort to improve user experience over time.

«We are launching in beta for now, while we fine-tune our service to make sure it meets the high standards expected by Singaporeans. As such, we are asking all users, whether drivers or passengers, to provide us with ongoing feedback as we work towards creating the best possible service for the country,» said Andre Soelistyo, GOJEK president.
