Some netizens said that this was a show of greed, with one writing,"It was always going to be this way. Once they have us in their pocket, time for greed.”

While some shared the netizen’s concern over the new surge in prices and found the price hike to be almost enough incentive just to drive themselves… others cited factors such as the current cost of petrol, arguing that Grab is doing what any company would have to do. “The new surge is hitting as high as $60,” the netizen began a thread in an online news forum, open to other users interested in joining the discussion. “I’m not sure whether due to the holiday season–that may be why there are drivers, more demand or inflation is hitting us now or Grab / Gojek is using this opportunity to increase their revenue… this new surge is same on the weekends and weekdays.

“I feel like this might finally be the incentive for me to learn driving, and rent BlueSG,'” wrote one netizen, citing a carsharing service.
