Watch out Gojek, competitor GrabBike has come to Bali.
Ride-hailing app Grab has announced that it launched both GrabBike and GrabExpress services in Bali, as of Oct. 22.
Like Gojek, GrabBike allows you to order motorbike taxis, while GrabExpress is Grab’s courier service. Also in common with Gojek, the app’s drivers use black and green colors.
Similar to Uber, the app has provided its GrabCar driver services in some time in Bali (they launched in 2015)—to the frustration of competing taxi and other drivers operating on the island.
As with GrabCar, the GrabBike and GrabExpress options will be most available in Badung and Denpasar.
Grab started in Malaysia but has quickly spread throughout the region, with notable success in Jakarta, its first Indonesian city.
“Bali is dominant in growth and tourism potential, so we saw an opportunity to improve the quality of daily trips in Denpasar and Badung. The launching of two-wheel services in Bali will complement GrabCar, which previously launched in 2015,” Mediko Azwar, Grab Indonesia’s marketing director told Merdeka.
