As Grab jostles to edge Uber out in Singapore, the Asian company is arming itself with one thing Uber hasn't really got — traditional cabs.
On Thursday, Grab an**unced that it will properly onboard 7,000 drivers from the Trans-cab company onto its platform, bumping up the number of cabbies familiar with its ride-booking app.*
Grab's app is already available for interested cab drivers, but a formal effort by the taxi company and Grab to get drivers on will likely provide a boost to the number of cabs that Grab can pair with passengers looking for a ride.
