The rates are currently set at a base fare of RM3.70 for trips under 3km
The above screenshot was shared by SoyaCincau, which said that GrabBike is also charging a service charge of 30 cents. For subsequent kilometres travelled between 3km to 5.5km, the charge is 55 cents for each kilometre. However, for distances above 5.5km, the charge is RM1/km.
Additionally, Grab also mentioned that surge pricing will be charged during periods of high demand.
