Over 200 buses and vans will now be available for booking on the Grab app
Ride-hailing giant Grab announced today the launch of a coach service for Singapore called GrabCoach.
This service will allow group travellers and corporate customers to book from a fleet of over 200 buses or vans. These vehicles come in three categories: 13-seater, 23-seater and 40-seater. The fares are fixed and priced at S$65 (US$46), S$95 (US$67), S$150 (US$106) for a one-way trip respectively.
“We saw an opportunity to digitise the traditional coach-chartering business for a better customer experience. Now for the first time, those who need to travel in groups can conveniently schedule a GrabCoach within minutes via the Grab app without having to spend hours coordinating with coach companies,” said Lim Kell Jay, Head of Grab Singapore, in an official press statement.

“We are continuously looking at how we can contribute to a car-lite society by reducing the number of vehicles needed on our roads. This means providing passengers with a mix of transport options to suit different needs, for various occasions and at different price points,” added Lim.
Go-Fleet, a local transport management company, will be partnering with Grab to roll out GrabCoach.
“At Go-Fleet, we help small transport companies scale efficiently through partnerships. Drivers and transport companies that have signed up with Go-Fleet have shared that access to Grab’s large passenger base as well as the company’s streamlined booking and payment processes are the top reasons for joining Grab,” said Founder of Go-Fleet, in an official press statement.
GrabCoach users will be able to use all of Grab features, including its in-app messaging feature GrabChat, as well as all its cash and cashless payment options, to facilitate bookings.
Concierge teams can book GrabCoach for guests via GrabVenue Terminals located at the following hotels, shopping malls and establishments:
