Grab, the leading super app in Southeast Asia, today announced its first foray into mass market transportation. Starting with Jabodetabek area1 in Indonesia, Grab has launched a new Trip Planner feature that integrates public transportation options directly into the Grab app. To complement these public transportation options, Grab has also connected its services such as GrabBike or GrabCar to serve first-mile-last-mile trips to and from public transit stations or bus stops - a first-of-its-kind in Southeast Asia. Over the next few months, Trip Planner will be launched in other Southeast Asian cities.
Grab will also pilot a marketplace for bus travel over the next few months and roll it out progressively across key Southeast Asian cities, unlocking a more affordable shared mobility market for the masses.
