BlueSG’s fall, GetGo’s rise

Is Singapore against private cars?

Car-sharing vs ride-hailing

Are EVs a problem for car-sharing?

Cars as a subscription service?

Singapore’s car-sharing scene has seen its fair share of failures, from Smove to BlueSG’s recent pause. But one company has bucked the trend: GetGo.

In this episode of TransportBT, host Derryn Wong speaks with GetGo CEO Toh Ting Feng about building a successful car-sharing platform in a challenging market like Singapore.

From EV adoption to future expansion overseas, they explore whether car-sharing could finally be a sustainable alternative to car ownership in Singapore.

01:30 BlueSG’s fall, GetGo’s rise

05:58 Is Singapore against private cars?

08:59 Car-sharing vs ride-hailing

10:47 Are EVs a problem for car-sharing?
