S$30 from Orchard to Ang Mo Kio: Companies introducing incentives to attract more drivers, commuters frustrated over 'crazy' fare hikes

But it appears change cannot come soon enough. CNA spoke to several commuters who cited recent “crazy” fare hikes, especially during peak hours.

Another commuter who only wanted to be known as Nick said it now costs him double to travel his regular route from Bishan to Bukit Batok on both Grab and Comfort. “It’s more than S$30 for Grab from Orchard to Ang Mo Kio. It seems to be so during weekends regardless of the hour. The same point-to-point from my house to Orchard is usually less than S$20 … around S$14 to S$16,” said a 39-year-old who only wanted to be known as Ms Ong.

Ms Chui’s regular journey from Botanic Gardens to Afro-Asia at Robinson Road used to cost S$14 on the Grab app for a journey anytime between 7pm and 2am. Now, she pays between S$23 to S$30. While 32-year-old Taj Marhim’s waiting time ranges from six to eight minutes, he noted that his “usual spots” are located in more convenient areas, like Bedok, Tampines, Bugis or downtown.

Take taxi lah

The whole ride sharing business is not sustainable. They need to become leaner themselves and then prob reduce the commission from the driver. I see that as the only solution imo. Temporary incentives will not be sustainable

It is the ERP. How much is the ERP from the 30 bucks?

Walk lah
