Free markets, like nature, abhors a void. Filling the competition gap left by the Grab-Uber merger is e-hailing service MyCar with a fleet of nearly 60,000 drivers. 

MyCar founder Mohd Noah Maideen said the platform aims to balance the e-hailing industry by creating healthy competition, while also giving former Uber drivers an alternative to joining Grab. 

Bernama reported that the service was officially launched on Wednesday, though the application was rolled out on Feb 1. 

During the launch, Mohd Noah said about 57,000 drivers had registered with MyCar, of which 10% are women.

So far, the app has provided rides for almost 5,000 passengers. 

According to their website, the MyCar fare rates as of March starts at RM5, while KLIA airport fare start from RM55. 

The app has six categories of rides, including Economy (sedans and compact cars), Premium (class C sedans above 1800cc), MPV Compact, MPV Premium, Cab (for legally registered taxis), and MyCar Now (open to all the options). 

The service by Platform Apps Sdn Bhd is available on the Apple app store and the Google Playstore, where it has three-and-a-half star and four star ratings, respectively.
