The table below shows information on the overall fares for long and short distance of the two most popular ride-hailing applications and local taxis for some countries across Southeast Asia in 2016.
The table represents the average charge for short- and long-distance rides carried out via ride-hailing phone applications Grab and Uber, as well as via local taxis, in six Southeast Asian markets in 2016.
Generally, short distance rides utilizing local taxis are more expensive than rides using Uber or Grab, but local taxis had more competitive pricing when it comes to longer 20 kilometer rides. Moreover, Singapore recorded the highest fares for rides, regardless of method of hailing or distance, whereas the fares in the other five countries saw little variance.
Going into further detail, for short-distance rides, most of the countries saw fares hovering around 2.2 USD when hailed using mobile applications, except for Singapore, where rides can cost as much as 5.6 USD for Uber rides, and 4.3 USD for Grab rides. Rides are costliest when taken by local taxis, with fares ranging from 2.3 dollars in Indonesia and Malaysia to 3.5 dollars in Vietnam, and twice that amount in Singapore. Half of these countries, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, witnessed Grab rides being marginally costlier than Uber, whereas in the other three countries, the reverse held true.
When considering long distance rides, both Uber and Grab charged around 5 dollars for a ride, except in Vietnam, where 20km rides cost between 7.6 USD and 9.5 USD, and Singapore, with fares between 11.6 and 12.8 USD. In Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand, local taxis were cheaper, compared to one of the two ride-hailing applications, but in the other three countries, 20km rides with these taxis were noticeably more costly.
