Do you think Grab implementing a $0.30 platform fee matters much to consumers?

Grab to implement 30-cent platform fee for rides from Dec 18. But they do have market share anyway, and consumers will likely still use Grab.

Can consider gojek to see if it's cheaper, or even ryde.

Like what Jiayee said, even with the $0.30 fee, Grab will stay the cheapest in addition to the convenience it brings us. Personally will still use grab. And since this fee will go towards giving the drivers better welfare, I believe most people would be supportive of this. As supported by a survey reported by Straits Times:

So to answer your questions, it won’t matter much!

When it comes to investing, how much fees are considered too expensive? What should be the benchmark fees (eg, transaction fees, platform fees, fund manager fees, etc)?

"I am not afraid of failure, I am afraid of succeeding in things that do not matter." How important do you think succeeding in finances is? How much do they actually matter?

Hi there! Am thinking of DCA every month for ARKF ETF. Would USD400 per month be ok or too little? Currently using Tiger Broker so the platform fee isn't too high. Or should I do it every quarterly?

Was in the news recently that Gojek and Grab are closing in on a possible merger. Your thoughts on this? And wondering how much that affect us as consumers?
