\"\"Sunny<\/strong>, I\u2019m in insurance.
\nHitching since Jan 2017.<\/td>\n		How did you hear about GrabHitch?<\/strong>
\nMy friend knows I don’t like to drive alone so he recommended GrabHitch to me.<\/p>\n

Why do you GrabHitch?
\n<\/strong>Cost recovery is secondary for me. I GrabHitch mainly to meet people and chit chat with them. I’ve actually learnt a lot hitching those from the younger generation.<\/span><\/p>\n

An interesting experience while GrabHitching?<\/strong>
\nI didn’t realise so many youngsters were concerned about the future. That was definitely an eye-opener for me. I also have a ‘regular hitcher’ who lives near me. She hitches everyday instead of taking the mrt, simply because she loves to sleep in – I find that extremely amusing.<\/p>\n

I<\/strong>n one year I see GrabHitch…<\/strong>
\nwith more and more people trying Hitch!<\/p>\n

How did you manage to introduce some many friends to GrabHitch?
\n<\/strong>As I’m in the sales field, I meet many clients who drive. So I always just share my referral code with them along with the link to the blogpost on the GrabHitch DRD program. It’s fast and simple!<\/p>\n

What has the experience sharing about GrabHitch to your friends been like?<\/strong>
\nSome were concerned about picking up strangers who may end up not showing up; so I advised them to always text the rider before setting off to pick them up.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

How did you hear about GrabHitch?<\/strong>
\nA colleague’s husband who happened to be a GrabHitch driver told me about it.<\/p>\n

How often do you GrabHitch?<\/strong>
\nIt depends on my work schedule. When my timing is flexible I often hitch during the mornings to work. When travelling to town with my family on weekends, I usually just open the app before I leave and see if there’s anyone along the way.<\/p>\n

Why do you GrabHitch?<\/strong>
\nIt’s a easy way for me to recover my driving costs and widen my network!<\/p>\n

An interesting experience while GrabHitching?<\/strong>
\nMet someone from the same NS unit as me (but a few batches after) so we had fun swapping our NS stories and comparing our experiences.<\/p>\n

In one year I see GrabHitch…<\/strong>
\nas something that I’ll still likely be doing.<\/p>\n

How did you manage to introduce some many friends to GrabHitch?
\n<\/strong>When we gather for dinner I shared my hitching experience. When I want to reach a wider social circle, I sometimes whatsapp my group chats and tell my friends about my referral code.<\/p>\n

What has the experience sharing about GrabHitch to your friends been like?<\/strong>
\nA lot of my friends initially didn’t understand how the GrabHitch concept works. But once I shared that you don’t need to register a business company or buy commercial insurance and that sign up is completely from the phone, they were eager to find out more.<\/td>\n

\nHitching since May 2017.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

How did you hear about GrabHitch?<\/strong>
\nMy girlfriend takes Grab very often and she was sharing about GrabHitch to me. As I drive, I decided to try giving hitch!<\/p>\n

Why do you GrabHitch?<\/strong>
\nThere’s marginal cost\/effort needed in order to cover my parking costs. That was the original reason I started hitching. But now, I find it an amazing social tool. I love the idea of bringing the community together through an initiative like this.<\/p>\n

An interesting experience while GrabHitching?<\/strong>
\nIn my area, I end up hitching a lot of expats. It’s fascinating to hear about where they’re from and what they’re doing in Singapore. I get to understand a different perspective on how they live their life and what they think about the hitching culture. They prefer taking hitch instead of a normal taxi because they love the social aspect of it!<\/p>\n

In one year I see GrabHitch…<\/strong>
\nstill around – bigger and better!<\/p>\n

How did you manage to introduce some many friends to GrabHitch?<\/strong>
\nI’m not the sort of person who will spam deals on Facebook so I usually share it with friends I know who drive when we meet up for meals \/ parties.<\/p>\n

What has the experience sharing about GrabHitch to your friends been like?<\/strong>
\nThe DRD program is essentially free money for me AND my friend! So why not? I think this concept resonates with many around the 20-30 year old age group who want to support social community initiatives so its easy to introduce hitch to my friends. I had some friends who were concerned about receiving \/ looking for change to give to riders but once they found out that GrabPay was possible they were keen to give it a go.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

How did you hear about GrabHitch?<\/strong>
\nI saw an ad in the Business Times and decided to signup and give GrabHitch a try!<\/p>\n

How often do you GrabHitch?
\n<\/strong>I hitch almost every weekday and sometimes on the weekend. I often get a suitable hitch without much of a detour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you GrabHitch?<\/strong>
\nFor practical reasons – to defray my driving expenses. But it’s also interesting to meet people from all walks of life.<\/p>\n

An interesting experience while GrabHitching?<\/strong>
\nA rider bought a drink for me while she was waiting for me to arrive. I thought that was quite sweet of her. I’ve also hitched my daughter’s teacher before!<\/p>\n

In one year I see GrabHitch…<\/strong>
\nmonopolizing the social carpooling market.<\/p>\n

How did you manage to introduce so many friends to GrabHitch?<\/strong>
\nI normally share details about my rides when I meet up with my friends at social gatherings and then text them details on how to sign up after. It is easy because signup is done directly from the app.<\/p>\n

What has the experience sharing about GrabHitch to your friends been like?<\/strong>
\nSome of them were initially concerned about GrabHitch being seen as moonlighting. But after I explained the social carpooling concept they decided to give it a go!<\/td>\n
