Indonesia-based ride hailing company Gojek will start offering car rides service in Vietnam in the next few weeks and allow cashless payments later this year.
Gojek Vietnam CEO Phung Tuan Duc said Wednesday that the new service will be called GoCar.
He did not mention a specific date for the launch, but said the service will comply with all pandemic prevention measures.
Duc said that although Gojek is a latecomer for its GoCar service, the ride-hailing market and on-demand services will continue to flourish, with lots of space for other ride-hailing players to develop. So we have confidence in expanding the business.
