It was just two months back when we’ve heard news of bike-hailing app Gojek coming to Malaysia. Now, Malaysia’ transport minister has announced that bike-hailing services such as Gojek and Dego Ride will be allowed to start their operations next year.
Both companies will be able to operate from January 2020 onwards in a small-scale limited to Klang Valley, where the service will be evaluated over six months to determine its demand in the market.
Of all the e-hailing services, Gojek’s greatest competitor should be Grab which has been growing rapidly within the recent years. However, Grab has recently faced a declination in ride-hailing drivers due to the implementation of the new PSV policy that requires its drivers to apply for certain licenses, permits and insurance.
