🚕 TADA and Grab have been promoting their new pet ride services. As a frequent user of both platforms, I find their pricing for pet rides ridiculous, especially for pets in carriers. My small dog travels in a fully enclosed bag that doesn’t touch the car seat, so what “cleaning fees” justify these charges?
Here’s a price comparison for a ride from One Holland Village to East Coast Park at the same time:
Usually I just go with good old Comfort Rides which doesn’t distinguish between pet and regular rides (please, Comfort, keep it this way!). The drivers are friendly and don’t mind if you have a dog, cat, or even a lion in their car, as long as your pet isn’t drooling or shedding fur everywhere. Speaking from over a decade of experience as a dog owner, I can attest to their welcoming attitude.
As pet owners, we also have a responsibility to respect drivers’ livelihoods. Using an enclosed carrier ensures our pets don’t inconvenience drivers or damage their vehicles. I strongly encourage fellow pet owners to adopt this practice for hassle-free rides.
