Gojek celebrates three years in Singapore, goes the extra mile to support driver-partners
‘Go the Extra Mile’ campaign will see $1 per completed trip given back to eligible driver-partners throughout Gojek’s anniversary week
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 29
November 2021 - To mark its three-year
anniversary in Singapore, Gojek today announced the launch of its 'Go the Extra
Mile' campaign which will see $1 per completed trip given back to
driver-partners throughout its
anniversary week - 29 November - 5 December[1]. The campaign aims to show
appreciation to driver-partners, who have been instrumental in moving Singapore
safely amid the pandemic, and builds on the more than 1 million free and discounted vaccination
rides provided by Gojek in 2021.
Through the initiative,
Gojek hopes to rally consumers to show their appreciation for driver-partners
by taking Gojek rides to contribute more to drivers' earnings, as well as
encouraging them to show drivers some love through verbal thank-yous and their
own small gestures. On top of their existing GoCar incentives, qualifying
drivers will receive additional 'Go the Extra Mile' earnings at the end of the
campaign, paid out directly to driver-partners' earnings wallets.
Lien Choong Luen, General Manager of Gojek Singapore, said, "The last year has undoubtedly been one of the most challenging
for us since our launch in Singapore, and we are proud to be celebrating our
third anniversary in spite of the difficulties faced. One thing is for certain,
we would not be here without the commitment and resilience of our
driver-partners. They are the very heart of Gojek and this year's birthday is
dedicated to them."
He added, "'Go the Extra Mile' builds on our commitment to support those
within our ecosystem, and show our collective appreciation to our
driver-partners. We remain more focused than ever on finding ways to support
them and keep Singapore moving safely as we continue to strengthen our offering
and provide better experiences for users."
Going the extra mile in Singapore
Gojek has been an active participant in keeping the nation moving
throughout this challenging period. In May, Gojek's Vaccination Campaign
automatically provided all riders with two $15 vouchers to get to and from
their vaccination appointments, resulting in almost 1.1 million free rides
taken, where 1 in 5 people in Singapore used Gojek vouchers to attend their
vaccination appointments.
As part of its continued commitment to going the extra mile to keep
people safe, protect livelihoods and maintain resilience amongst
driver-partners, Gojek is further doubling down on its CSR efforts in
Singapore. Latest initiatives include:
Doubling support for SG Cares: Gojek has scaled up its Medical Transport Subsidy Scheme to all 14 SG
Cares Volunteer Centres (VCs). Beyond the current 5 SG Cares VCs, Gojek is
doubling its existing support to 9 additional SG Cares VCs, providing 1,000
subsidised rides for lower-income individuals to get to their medical
appointments
Free rides for patients who have recovered from COVID-19: From 1 November to 31 December, Gojek has
committed to providing 1,200 surge-free rides (capped at $20) for Community Health Assist Scheme Blue and Orange card
holders, and patients with mobility needs, who have recovered from COVID-19 to
help them get home safely. These Gojek rides are available from Connect@Changi,
which is operating as a COVID-19 Treatment Facility located at Singapore EXPO.
Participating drivers are also eligible for 3 x $10 fuel vouchers for pickups
from Connect@Changi.
Support for jobseekers: From now
through December, Gojek is offering $10 off when jobseekers travel to physical
job fairs organised by NTUC's e2i (Employment and Employability Institute).
Jobseekers would simply need to pick up a brochure[2] with the promo code at any
of the e2i physical job fairs to receive $10 off their ride, which can then be
used when they travel from their home to other e2i job fairs.
Besides rallying riders to show appreciation to driver-partners, Gojek
will also be running its annual 'Spot the Gojek' competition, where riders can
stand a chance to win GoCar vouchers by spotting GoCars with its 3rd
anniversary decals and tagging Gojek in photos on Instagram with the hashtag #Goj3k and #GojekTurns3[3].
