BlueSG says it will pause its car sharing operations from Aug 8
[SINGAPORE] Car sharing operator BlueSG on Monday (Aug 4) announced that it would pause its car sharing operations as part of a major upgrade to its tech platform.
The move will set the stage for a refreshed platform, designed to meet the evolving needs of urban mobility through improved technology, reliability, operational efficiency, and improved service delivery, Blue SG said.
Speaking on the upcoming new platform, Keith Kee, chief executive officer of BlueSG, said: “As the landscape evolved and we observed the potential scale of car sharing users, it became clear that the current infrastructure of BlueSG needs to be upgraded fast to meet the demands of tomorrow.”
The new platform is slated to be launched in 2026.
Designed with a robust backend architecture and next-generation technology, it draws on lessons learnt from the company’s journey in Singapore thus far and aims to address limitations of the current platform, Blue SG said.
It will be powered by an expanded network of pickup and drop-off points and a newer range of vehicles, BlueSG said.
