SINGAPORE, 7 November 2015 – GrabTaxi, Southeast Asia’s largest land transport brand, celebrated their second anniversary in Singapore today with the GrabFest carnival. Held at the GrabTaxi office at Midview City, GrabFest was a full day event from 9am to 5pm organized in appreciation of GrabTaxi drivers, who are the backbone of the GrabTaxi service and of Singapore’s transport industry.

More than 3,500 taxi drivers turned up at GrabFest in support of GrabTaxi, which has helped to increase their incomes by providing more consumer bookings.

GrabFest showcased the close-knit GrabTaxi driver community, with over 85 taxi drivers volunteering their time to facilitate games and usher their fellow taxi drivers.

Jerry Lim, Head of GrabTaxi Singapore, said, “Singapore’s taxi drivers are our partners in providing fast and safe rides to passengers. They are hardworking and dedicated to providing an invaluable service to passengers, and GrabFest is our small gesture of appreciation to them. We launched GrabTaxi in an effort to improve the transport industry and provide more jobs for taxi drivers. In the past two years, we’ve built the largest taxi network in Singapore and we will continue to work hard to build a better service for passengers and drivers.”

Taxi drivers were treated to a full day of fun games and attractive giveaways during the eight-hour festival.
