Arizona Tribune - Ryde Introduces RydeX GO, a New Ride-Hailing Option for Closer Pick-Ups in Singapore

SINGAPORE, SG / ACCESS Newswire / September 24, 2026 / Ryde Group Ltd (NYSE American:RYDE) ("Ryde" or the "Company") , a leading technology platform for mobility and quick commerce in Singapore, today announced the launch of RydeX GO, a new ride-hailing service designed to connect riders with private-hire drivers closer to their pick-up locations, helping reduce waiting times and deliver a more convenient ride-hailing experience.

RydeX GO offers riders an additional booking option when time matters. Whether heading to work, catching an appointment or travelling during busy periods, riders can select RydeX GO to increase their chances of being matched with a nearer driver, allowing them to get on their way sooner.

The launch reinforces Ryde's commitment to improving ride reliability and giving commuters greater flexibility to choose the service that best suits their travel needs.

Closer Pick-Ups, Greater Convenience

With RydeX GO, riders can prioritise proximity when booking their next journey. The service is designed to match riders with drivers located closer to their pick-up points, helping minimise the time spent waiting for their ride to arrive.

Unlike the standard RydeX service, RydeX GO focuses on bringing riders a closer pick-up experience. It is particularly suited for commuters who value shorter pick-up times and want greater convenience when travelling.

By introducing a proximity-focused booking option, Ryde aims to give riders greater control over their pickup experience while addressing one of the key considerations for commuters: the time between securing a ride and being picked up.

"At Ryde, we understand that every minute matters, especially when our riders are on the go," said James Tan, Chief Product Officer of Ryde. "With RydeX GO, we are giving riders greater control over their travel experience by making it easier to connect with drivers who are closer to them. This launch reflects our continued focus on delivering practical innovations that make everyday journeys more convenient and reliable."

RydeX GO is designed to offer closer pick-ups, although actual matching and pick-up times may vary depending on driver availability, traffic conditions and location.

Expanding Choice for Everyday Commuters

The introduction of RydeX GO further expands Ryde's range of mobility services, allowing riders to select different ride options based on their individual preferences.

While RydeX provides a standard private ride, RydeX GO introduces an additional choice for commuters who prioritise proximity and convenience.

The new service complements Ryde's ongoing enhancements to its ride-hailing platform, including improvements to driver matching and booking flexibility, as the Company continues to develop a more responsive and reliable mobility experience for riders across Singapore.

RydeX GO will be progressively rolled out to riders in Singapore through the Ryde app.

Riders will be able to select RydeX GO from the available ride options and view the applicable fare before confirming their booking.
