Going with the brand GOJEK, the Indonesian ride-hailing giant calls for riders and passengers to give their inputs during this phase

Indonesian ride-hailing giant Go-Jek has launched the beta version of its app in Singapore today, under the brand GOJEK.

Available for both Android and iOS devices, the app is currently being released on beta stage and will be rolled out gradually to ensure balance between supply and demand.

“It is with great pride that we begin the roll-out of our services in Singapore. Consumers throughout the country have told us that they want more choice in this sector and with the launch of our beta app, their wait is coming to an end,” GOJEK President Andre Soelistyo said in a press statement.

“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,” he added.

Earlier this month, GOJEK has announced a partnership with DBS Bank to support its expansion to Singapore and Southeast Asia in general.

According to The Straits Times, some 20,000 drivers have expressed interest in signing up with the company.

Go-Jek itself would not reveal how many have actually downloaded the app.
