COVID-19: ComfortDelGro cabbies can soon deliver groceries for RedMart via yahoosg
SINGAPORE — ComfortDelGro taxi drivers will soon be helping to deliver groceries for online supermarket site RedMart, amid the rise in demand for grocery delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
For this trial pilot, the cabbies will pick up orders from RedMart’s warehouse at Alexandra Terrace, and deliver them to locations within the town areas. They will also be trained to perform contactless deliveries and deliver orders directly to a customer’s doorstep. “With the big mismatch in demand and supply for food and groceries, we reached out to RedMart. We have started the onboarding of drivers and have seen strong interest among our drivers. This will be a win-win-win situation not just for our drivers, for RedMart but for residents as well.”
