1. Grab \u2013 The biggest player in the game<\/h3>\r\nWhen people think PHV in Singapore, <\/span>Grab<\/b> is usually the first name that comes to mind\u2014and for good reason. With a massive user base and consistent ride demand, it's the go-to platform for many full-time and part-time drivers.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAs of Jan 2025, there\u2019s a new fixed platform fee<\/a><\/span>\u00a0- <\/span>S$0.90 per trip<\/b> (up from S$0.70)<\/span>. Grab still uses <\/span>dynamic (surge) pricing<\/a> when demand spikes<\/span>, so fares (and take-home pay) rise in busy hours. In practice, drivers keep ~75\u201390% of each fare under this model.<\/span>\r\n\r\nPros:<\/b>\r\n
