Grab Intercity was adapted onto the super app’s platform via a team-up with Splyt, an service integration solution provider, and Easybook, a regional transportation booking platform. The new service also allows users to pay for tickets with GrabPay and earn points for Grab’s reward system.

With Grab Intercity, users can choose from over 15,000 available routes and buy travel tickets on the app. The feature will also allow Grab users to purchase bus tickets to over 30 destinations in Singapore from 11 different states and cities across Malaysia.

“It’s only through collaboration with industry leaders across different sectors that we’re able to simplify routine errands such as planning for a holiday,” said Rashid Shukor, director of country operations and mobility at Grab Malaysia.

Having direct routes between the two nations will also support economic recovery as it would make travel more convenient, according to Wee Ka Siong, Malaysia’s transport minister.
