Traveloka, the largest online travel start-up in Southeast Asia, has expanded into ride-hailing as part of its plan to become an all-encompassing digital platform, heating up the super app race in Southeast Asia. The Jakarta-based unicorn valued at US$3 billion launched on Wednesday its QuickRide feature that allows users in 16 cities to book taxis from publicly listed local taxi provider Bluebird. Iko Putra, CEO of transportation at Traveloka, said the company launched the new feature in response to increasing customer demand for on-demand ride-hailing. But there were no plans so far to introduce non-taxi ride-hailing.
