Eager to try out the competitor to Grab? Here are some FAQs about the beta-launch in Singapore of the ride-hailing app.
Can you share more about the process of waitlisting?
Waitlisting is the process of giving riders access to Gojek’s ride-hailing service.
What are the areas in Singapore covered in the beta launch?
During the beta launch, Gojek’s service areas will cover more than half of Singapore, including the Central Business District, Jurong East, Changi, Punggol, Ang Mo Kio and Sentosa.
We fully intend to serve the whole island and will progressively expand our coverage throughout the beta phase.
Why start with these areas?
Gojek’s service areas during the beta launch are chosen based on population density, and limited initially to better manage supply and demand.
It is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Riders will have to download the Gojek app and sign up for an account.
They will be placed on a waitlist and receive an email or push notification once they have been given access to the service.
DBS cardmembers can enjoy priority access on the waitlist by entering an access code during registration.
The code is “DBS” followed by the first 6 digits of their Visa, Mastercard or AMEX card (eg, “DBS123456”).
More details for DBS/POSB cardholders can be found here.
I’ve previously used Gojek in Indonesia. Do I need to register again?
If you have previously registered with Gojek, there is no need to register again.
Gojek will let you know on your next steps.

“It is with great pride that we begin the roll-out of our services in Singapore. Consumers throughout the country have told us that they want more choice in this sector and with the launch of our beta app, their wait is coming to an end. We are launching in beta for now, while we fine-tune our service to make sure it meets the high standards expected by Singaporeans. As such, we are asking all users, whether drivers or passengers, to provide us with ongoing feedback as we work towards creating the best possible service for the country,” said Gojek President, Andre Soelistyo.
This staggered approach reflects Gojek’s commitment to ensuring a smooth entry into Singapore and an ongoing effort to improve user experience over time.
An FAQ on Gojek’s beta service can be found here.
The launch of Gojek’s beta app in Singapore kickstarts the regional strategic partnership between Gojek and DBS, two of Southeast Asia’s most iconic companies.
DBS/POSB customers in Singapore will be the first to enjoy Gojek rides during the beta phase.
During the beta phase, access to the app will be granted in batches to balance ride demand and service capabilities.
