SINGAPORE - Ride-hailing giant Grab is acquiring Trans-Cab, Singapore’s third-largest taxi operator.

If concluded, Trans-Cab will be the first Singapore taxi company to be acquired by United States-listed Grab, which has been trying to buy a cab operator for several years now. But earlier in 2023, SMRT Taxis – which has since been rebranded as Strides – bought Premier Taxis, and their combined fleet of about 2,500 vehicles now exceed Trans-Cab’s. ComfortDelGro remains Singapore’s largest taxi operator with around 8,800 taxis, or just over 60 per cent of the market.The ride-hailing firm, which is in other businesses such as food delivery, finance, insurance and payments, has been incurring losses since it was started in 2012.
