[News] Ride Sharing System in Southeast Asian Countries
In the case of Singapore, various transportation methods such as public buses, MRTs, LRTs, and taxis are developed. In order to purchase a car in Singapore, the government actively encourages the use of public transportation because it requires the acquisition of a vehicle (CRE) and the number of such issues is controlled by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to limit the growth rate of cars, making it difficult to own private vehicles.
In Singapore, Uber entered the race-sharing service in 2013, offering UberX, UberPOOL, UberEXEC and UberTaxi services, while in Singapore, its own company Grab, a mobile taxi-car service, launched in 2013. Grab currently offers a variety of services, including private passenger cars, buses, taxis, motorcycles, bicycles, rentals, carpool services and food delivery services, in line with the situation in Southeast Asia in eight Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines, and allows passengers to pay cash in consideration of Southeast Asian characteristics with low credit card penetration.
In the case of ride-sharing service, it is provided in the form of a service using a vehicle of its own or a vehicle borrowed from a taxi company or a rental car company. Vehicle drivers require permission from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and are regulated so as not to exceed the fare of regular taxis. In the case of carpooling with private vehicles, the road transport act 'ROAD TRAFFIC (CAR POOLS) (EXEMPTION) ORDER 2015' allows the carpooling to be profitable only if it is within the real cost range and limits the number of carpool drivers' service offerings to up to two times a day. The Singaporean government is positive about innovative services such as ride-sharing services, and seems to be pushing for gradual legislative and policy changes through partnerships with existing taxi drivers, ride-sharing service drivers, taxi operators, rental car operators and vehicle-to-car sharing platform operators.
In Indonesia, more than 40 percent of the population uses motorcycle-like two-wheeled cars as their main means of transportation due to the absence of subways, lack of bus routes and lack of infrastructure for cars. As a result, two-wheeler or three-wheeler taxis are developed, but traffic congestion problems are serious in the Seoul metropolitan area, including Jakarta, due to unsystematic two-wheel taxis. In Indonesia, ride-sharing services are provided around Uber, Grab and Gojek. Uber has provided UberX, UberBlack, UberPOOL and UberMoter services in 30 major cities, including Jakarta in 2014, and GrabCAR in 15 cities, including Jakarta, GrabCAR, GrabTaxi, and GrabTaxi in 2014. Meanwhile, as an alternative to dealing with traffic jams and inconveniences in public transportation, Ko Sech, a local startup company that has started a two-wheeled taxi brokerage service since 2010, has been expanding its scope to not only two-wheelers but also to car and passenger sharing services using ordinary vehicles and taxis since 2015, showing a 56 percent share of Indonesian users. Gojeck is flexibly overhauling Indonesia's unsystematically operated motorcycle market by providing mobile vehicle and ride-sharing apps through its connection with GoPay, a prepaid charging payment system. Currently, GoFood, GoSend, Jang Bo-bo, and GoMart's services have been provided.
In case of ride-sharing services in Indonesia, conflicts between the taxi industry and the ride-sharing service industry have continued as the mobile-based ride-sharing service has grown in earnest since 2015. As a result, Indonesia's transportation ministry has been implementing regulations on mobile ride sharing services on multiple occasions since 2016. Some people in Indonesia say mobile ride-sharing service companies such as Grab and Gozek should be classified as "transport companies" rather than "IT companies" and thus strictly managed by incorporating ride-sharing services via motorcycles into the mass transit system, but the parliament and the Constitutional Court seem to be inducing legalization rather than excessive regulation, citing citizens' benefits and market economy principles.
In the case of the Philippines, the total traffic volume is already exceeding the traffic capacity of urban roads, mainly in the metropolitan area To ease traffic congestion, the government is pushing various policies, such as imposing restrictions on driving according to the day of the week through the number classification of license plates around the Seoul metropolitan area, or pushing for a "High Occupancy Vehicle" (HOV) lane, which takes precedence over vehicles with several people on board. In the Philippines, UberX, UberBLACK, UberPOOL and Grab have been providing GrabTaxi (GrabCAR), GrabCAR (GrabCAR), GrabSHAR, and GrabSHARE services since 2014. In order to introduce a new transportation service that can quickly respond to traffic congestion in 2015, the Department of Transportation and Communication (DTC) will use a 'Transportation Network Company (TNC)' as a service provider to share mobile vehicles and passenger transport network (VCS)' as in the U.S. throughd Regulations stipulate that a person obtains permission from the Regulatory Board, LT Federal Reserve. In such a case, it is required to obtain the Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) necessary to provide the Transport Network Company (TNVS) or the Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) and to submit a list of drivers. In addition, drivers of ride-sharing services are required to obtain a National Bureau of Innovation (NBI) and a certificate from the Philippines National Police (PNP). As such, it is believed that the Philippines is pushing for ride-sharing services as one of the alternatives to improve its existing transportation infrastructure.
