The pandemic may have emptied the roads of Southeast Asia but it has also ushered in greater demand for car-sharing platforms in the region. Car owners seeking to earn through their idle vehicles and renters, who need a car to commute but are unwilling to splurge, have both flocked to these companies in the last six months.
Singapore-based car-sharing startup Tribecar has seen a 2-3x user growth in the last 12-18 months, its co-founder and CEO Adrian Lee told DealStreetAsia. He expects car sharing to be a mainstay in the city-state due to its restrictions on car ownership.
