Singapore ride-hailing and carpooling company, Ryde, has listed
on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “RYDE”. Making history
as the first Singapore ride-hailing startup to undergo an Initial
Public Offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), this
milestone showcases Ryde's pioneering strides in the ride-hailing
sector, rooted in its homegrown values and commitment to
sustainability.
Terence Zou, Founder and CEO of Ryde expressed, “Being the first
Singapore ride-hailing startup to list our shares on NYSE through
an IPO is a historic achievement for Ryde. This significant
milestone fuels our optimism as we embark on a journey to redefine
carpooling, ride-hailing, and quick commerce.”
Not only breaking new ground as the first Singapore ride-hailing
startup to IPO on NYSE, Ryde also proudly stands as the world's
first real-time carpooling app, dedicated to sustainable
transportation solutions since 2014. Ryde’s mission is to leverage
technology to revolutionize how people and goods move from point to
point. The platform provides on-demand and scheduled carpooling and
ride-hailing services, as well as on-demand, scheduled, and
multi-stop parcel delivery services.
Ryde strives to continuously incentivize its community to
maintain high ratings and leave every ride experience better than
the last. By implementing various tools like reviews and rating
systems, Ryde has created a safe working environment for its
drivers, and riders are assured of high standards of service and
safety.
“We have faced challenges and hurdles that have tested our
determination and resolve. But what has kept us going is the
understanding of the impact that we have on people’s lives. It’s
about our drivers who find a new source of livelihood, and our
riders who enjoy the convenience and efficiency of our services,”
Terence added.
On January 2, 2024, Ryde also introduced a 0% Commission for all
its private-hire and taxi drivers in 2024. This decisive move
underlines its commitment to supporting the driver community and
building a fairer platform for both drivers and riders. "As we
introduce 0% driver commissions in 2024, our commitment is
straightforward — to empower our drivers with every journey,"
states Terence. "Removing driver commissions means more earnings
for them, demonstrating our direct investment in the driver
community."
Leveraging the proceeds from the IPO will strengthen Ryde’s
competitive position, propelling growth as the company ventures
into new markets and invests in technological improvements. Terence
Zou commented, “The use of proceeds from our initial public
offering will play a pivotal role in the expansion of Ryde’s
services globally and disrupting the incumbents in the
industry.”
