Its a point A to point B car.

NOT a full-fledged rental car.

If you wanna compare it against Taxi, GTG (Grab, Tada, Go-Jek), plus if you know your roads and timings very well (not drive like a blind bat totally oblivious), its cheaper than the 4 combined.

But there are always blur cockanathans around. These should stay away from car sharing with a 10ft pole.

 

[BrOwnTeddy]

Yes. Expensive. Believe the program will die within a year.

That is a good one and they are expanding more and more rental locations.

Almost wanted to buy a car and Bluesg build a station at my hdb carpark thereafter. I'm happy and not complaining! Save me tons of transport cost.

Can bluesg cars park at non bluesg dedicated lots?

can, only if you don't plan to charge it. if you plan to return the vehicle, you have to keep it charged.

To stop usage, must return. Clock is ticking from cable out and stops when cable in.

Once you plug in at Carpark B, they will stop charging, no need to return to Carpark A. But if no free Charging Point in Carpark B then

can unplug the other vehicle and plug into yours.
joke aside, so the user also need to get their own cash card right?

The new version of the app has something called queue-pop. So if the lots are all still occupied, you can still chope first. Once a lot a available, you will get an alert and the lot will be reserved for you.

You can also easily find alternate carparks using the app, or from the GPS unit in the car.

Of course, if for some of the more ulu places, the next nearest carpark might be some distance away.

Yes, need your own cash card to enter normal carparks which do not have BlueSG stations, for ERP etc.

Yes. You can treat it like a normal car and park at other car parks. But they will keep charging you rental by the minute (50 cents for normal member, 33 cents for premium members) as long as you do not return to their charging stations.

 

[Orphan]

is they never activate. all bluecar when start car, WILL NOT auto on aircon compressor. hav to manually press button to on.

Yah, this one a bit evil of BlueSG. Took me 2nd trip to figure out must manually press aircon button and the HUD will have indicator after you press.

 

[Orphan]

Is way cheaper to take a taxi.
This system is build to fail.

I would love it if they can reduce the prices further once they get past the infra build up phase. I believe they have a very successful model currently, and will be hear for good. Just need more stations.

To be fair, if your starting point and destination nearby got a charging station, it's definitely cheaper than taking a cab.

I do have some complaints though -

1) Steering is heavy for such a small car
2) Feels heavy (probably due to the battery) for its size
3) Right side view mirror cannot adjust until I can barely see the side of the car (so that I can see more of the road behind).
4) Depending on your preferred driving position and how far back the passenger sits, left side definitely got a troublesome blind spot coz the head rest of passenger seat blocks the rear left window (which is already small). Have to move body to see.
