Grab Malaysia is driving Johor’s growth— One ride, delivery, and meal at a time

As a homegrown brand, Grab Malaysia continues to play a key role in Johor, leveraging technology to drive economic empowerment and inclusive growth. Since its inception in Johor in 2013, Grab has provided nearly 100,000 local driver and delivery partners with a platform to make money through technology-driven solutions, including over 400 people with disabilities (PWDs) and over 3,000 women.

In 2023 alone, Grab’s Johor partners earned more than RM500 million on the platform, demonstrating Grab’s strong impact to the state’s economy.

Making travel a breeze while turning Johor into a tourist dream

Grab isn’t just an app for rides and food—it’s a connector of people, places, and experiences. In fact, 1 in 20 people across Southeast Asia use Grab, making it a vital part of the region’s daily life. And in Johor, the app is doing more than just getting people around; it’s helping tourists discover local gems while giving the economy a little extra oomph. With 65% of foreign tourists in Malaysia relying on Grab, the platform has become the ultimate travel companion for exploring authentic Malaysian experiences.

To sweeten the deal for travelers, Grab recently rolled out the Grab Tourist Pack. For just RM3.50 (yes, less than your daily kopi peng), international tourists can enjoy savings of up to RM65 on rides, food, and even mart deliveries. Available in seven countries, including Malaysia, this initiative isn’t just about convenience; it’s also giving local businesses a boost by connecting them to a wider audience.

As Johor evolves into a hub for tourism and commerce, Grab is committed to empowering local communities, supporting businesses, and showcasing everything that makes Johor truly special. Whether you’re a tourist discovering your next favorite kopitiam or a local business owner looking to grow, Grab is here to make life—and travel—easier.
