Grab, the leading ride-hailing platform in Southeast Asia, on Tuesday officially launched its GrabBike (Win) service in Bangkok after a successful pilot trial.

GrabBike (Win) is Grab’s partnership with the widely available and popular Win motorbike taxi service, using legally registered drivers and motorcycles.
Starting today, passengers can use the Grab app to book an on-demand GrabBike (Win) ride and request for a pick-up from their doorstep to any location within Bangkok, instead of walking to the local Win street corner.
“Grab is excited to launch our GrabBike (Win) service, working with participating driver-partners to provide fast and convenient on-demand rides to people visiting, working and living in Bangkok. We worked closely with the Department of Land Transport for our trial service and are now expanding GrabBike (Win) to cover all areas of Bangkok.
“Grab stands for greater transport freedom, safety and accessibility for the Thai people and we are committed to continuously improve the livelihoods of our driver-partners through the Grab platform,” said Wee Tang Yee, country head of Grab Thailand.
Driver-partners are relying on GrabChat, Grab’s instant-messaging platform, to communicate with passengers without leaving the Grab app, while saving on call and SMS charges. Communications between drivers and passengers before pick-ups help locate, share an estimated arrival time and inform one another of arrivals.
The GrabBike (Win) service is served by legal motorbike taxi drivers licensed to operate commercial taxi-motorbike services in Bangkok by the Land Transport Department. GrabBike (Win) fares are priced the same as local Win bike rides and displayed within the app before passengers make their bookings.
To ensure the safety and well-being of passengers, all GrabBike (Win) motorbikes are equipped with helmets for driver-partners and passengers as well as protective jackets for driver-partners.
Driver-partners and passengers also qualify for free Group Personal Accident Insurance coverage.
