Last week, Bolt announced its entry into the ride-hailing scene in Malaysia, but it wasn’t the only company to do so, because a name associated with delivery services also signaled that it was entering the fray.
In posts made last week on its social media platforms, delivery platform Lalamove announced that it had begun a ride-hailing service called Lalamove Ride. According to the company, Lalamove Ride is available 24/7, with the service offering professional drivers and promising affordable and transparent pricing.
The service is accessible via its Lalamove app, and users can access the service by tapping on the new Ride tab on the app.This opens up a page where you can select your pick-up location and destination. At present, there’s only one vehicle type listed as available under the service, and that happens to be sedans.
The interface isn’t as comprehensively detailed as its competitors, as a check on the app showed, but expect it to evolve as it progresses. While it remains to be seen how big a driver and user base the service will eventually have, having another player is a good thing for ride-mobility users when it comes to more competitive fare rates.
You can download Lalaamove here if you don’t have the app yet.

Should have just called it LalaRide
Happy to hear this. More competition is better for consumer. Hate the grab actually. Grab driver always cancel and when order a ride, a lot of times the app says 3 mins but the car on the screen is stationary for 10 mins until driver eventually cancel it. Lousy management team at Grab
