The campaigns will outline the benefits of driving with GOJEK, such as earnings stability, protection, flexibility and driving experience.The team at GOJEK will engage driver-partners on its "Driver Milestones" programnme through online and offline platforms including driver town hall events, Telegram and in-app communications. Taking care of its driver-partners is a key focus for the ride-hailing company, the spokesperson added.Lien Choong Luen, general manager of GOJEK Singapore said with this milestone, the company has taken a "solid first step" in bringing choice back to riders and drivers, and created a "great, sustainable" ride-hailing product.“This feat of 10 million completed trips would not have been possible without the support of all of you. Our entry has also spurred competition in the market, and most importantly, greater innovation and value for users," he added.Raditya Wibowo, GOJEK’s global head of transport said following the company's launch in Singapore, response from the driver community has been positive, with tens of thousands of driver-partners signing up and achieving milestones.
