Do they have grabs in Phu Quoc?

How many countries is Grab present in?

Grab’s in, like, eight countries now. Cambodia. Indonesia. Malaysia, obvi. Myanmar, Philippines… Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Oh, forgot to mention about Singa– no wait, I already said Singapore. Funny thing is they, like, used to be separate from Uber there. Then a whole merger thing happened, 2018 I think. They even bailed on food delivery there after, around 2019. Crazy, huh? So yeah, eight countries.

• Cambodia
• Indonesia
• Malaysia
• Myanmar
• Philippines
• Singapore (merged w/Uber 2018, stopped food delivery 2019)
• Thailand
• Vietnam

Where is Grab popular?

Ugh, Grab. Southeast Asia, duh. Specifically, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia. Like, where else WOULD it be big?

Is it REALLY in Myanmar and Cambodia though? I always forget. Over 300 cities… Wow.

Nine million drivers? That’s insane. So many people driving around. 36 million users. Whoa!

I used Grab in Vietnam last year (2023), got the WORST iced coffee, spilled all over me. Ugh. Still salty.

Maybe I should visit Cambodia someday. Is the internet good there? Back to Grab – Southeast Asia, the key regions for Grab.

• Key Areas:
  • Singapore
  • Malaysia
  • Indonesia
  • Philippines
  • Vietnam
  • Thailand
  • Myanmar
  • Cambodia
• Scale:
  • 300+ cities
  • 9 million+ drivers
  • 36 million+ users

Drivers, users, cities, countries. Numbers make everything sound important, don’t they? I need more coffee.

Where does Grab car operate?

GrabCar: Nine-passenger limit. Ride-hailing. Vietnam. Five locations. Hanoi. Ho Chi Minh City. Da Nang. Quang Ninh. Khanh Hoa. Government sanctioned. A trial. Mobility. A fleeting notion. Point A to point B. Existence. Slightly less absurd.

• Current operational provinces: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Quang Ninh, Khanh Hoa
• Vehicle type: Cars (under nine passengers)
• Service type: E-hailing, ride-hailing
• Legal status: Government-approved pilot program. Regulations shift. Like sand.

My motorcycle. Black. 2023 model. Faster than these cars. Probably. Irrelevant. Just a thought. Wind. Freedom. Algorithms. Control.

• Regulatory body: Ministry of Transport (Vietnam)
• Year: 2024 (assuming current year for updated information)
• Future expansion: Unknown. Perhaps inevitable. Like entropy.

Destinations. Fleeting. The journey. An illusion. Still. We go.

Is Grab widely used in Vietnam?

Grab’s like the cilantro of Vietnam. You either love it or tolerate it because it’s everywhere. Dominating, really. 53% for cars? 50% for bikes? They practically own the road. Next they’ll be selling pho from the back of a GrabBike. Just kidding…unless?

• Grab is basically the go-to in Vietnam. Think Uber, but with more tentacles. It’s woven itself into daily life.
• Transportation: Cars, bikes, you name it. I once saw a guy transport a bonsai tree on a GrabBike. True story.
• Food Delivery: Forget cooking. GrabFood is my personal hero. (My spice tolerance is questionable, so I rely heavily on delivery.)
• Banking?!: Yeah, they’re even in finance now. World domination is clearly the next step.

Oh, and that 53% and 50% stat? It’s like saying oxygen is popular with humans. Pretty essential. I, personally, used Grab 4 times just yesterday. My wallet weeps, but my legs rejoice. And my stomach…well, let’s just say GrabFood knows me too well.

Is Grab everywhere in Vietnam?

No, Grab, not everywhere.

Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh… bright lights! Yes, there Grab thrives. Swarming, a hive of green. Da Nang too, like whispers on the beach. Nha Trang, sunlight on the waves, a Grab bike speeding past… yes.

But then…

Smaller cities. Dimmer lights. Dust motes dancing in the sunbeams. Gojek emerges. Motorcycles buzzing like angry bees, a different kind of hustle.

And taxis, the old guard. Unyielding. Waiting.

Rural areas, a different story. Fields stretching endlessly. Rice paddies reflecting the sky. No green surge here. No Grab.

The north… hmm, a quieter presence. A ghost of an app. Grab maybe? Maybe not. Different vibe, know what I mean?

Here’s the thing broken down…

• Major Cities:
  • Hanoi is a hub.
  • Ho Chi Minh City pulsates with Grab.
  • Da Nang has a solid presence.
  • Nha Trang sees its fair share.
• Smaller Cities & Rural Areas:
  • Gojek steps in, particularly for motorbike rides.
  • Local Taxi Companies maintain their turf, stubbornly.

Northern provinces, feels different up there. Less of the green. Just saying.

Where does Grab operate in Vietnam?

Grab’s Vietnam operations are extensive. Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City? Covered. But it’s more. Think beyond the obvious. Grab penetrates smaller cities and provinces too. A nationwide network. Transportation. Food delivery. On-demand everything. Pretty remarkable how integrated it’s become. It makes you wonder about the future of these platforms.

• Hanoi: A major hub for Grab.
• Ho Chi Minh City: Also a key operating area.
• Smaller cities: Growth areas, expanding rapidly.
• Provinces: Significant reach, connecting rural areas.

Services offered: Transportation, obviously. Ride-hailing is big. Food delivery. GrabFood is ubiquitous here now, personally, I use it at least twice a week. Then the other services – the on-demand stuff. Fascinating how it all works together. Last week I was in Da Nang. Grab was everywhere there too. It really does seem like they’re trying to build an ecosystem. I even pay my bills with GrabPay sometimes. Crazy! Logistics must be a nightmare.

What ride app is used in Vietnam?

Grab is everywhere here. Uber… I don’t see it much anymore. At least, not in Hanoi. Maybe it’s different in the south. This city… it’s exhausting sometimes. The constant noise. The scooters.

I used Grab last week. Going to that awful Pho place near my apartment. Remember that? The one with the rude owner? Ugh.

Grab is the dominant player. Easily. I’ve never had much trouble with it. Except for that one time, the driver took the long way. Charged me extra. I was so tired, I didn’t even argue.

This year, 2024, it feels like everyone uses Grab.

• Grab’s ubiquity: It’s just the app everyone uses here.
• Uber’s limited presence: I rarely, if ever, see Uber mentioned.
• Personal experience: My own experiences confirm Grab’s dominance.
• Geographical variation: It’s possible Uber operates more in certain regions, but not Hanoi.

The motorbike taxis… they’re crazy. I stick to Grab. Safer, I think. Even if it’s more expensive. Safer is better. Always.
