Goodbye annoying bus rides and crowded, limited trains; hello cheap massages, groceries and endless lok lok. Good ol' Grab has just announced it'll be facilitating Johor-Singapore carpooling under its app GrabHitch starting Jun 20.

In case you didn't know, GrabHitch is Grab's carpooling offshoot that allows people to share a ride and split the cost with others who are going the same way. So if you've got a car and are driving a fair distance, you can save on fuel by giving a ride to a couple friendly (hopefully) strangers. Prices for the Singapore-JB routes are starting at roughly $12, depending on your start and end points of course, but still way cheaper than booking a kindly uncle with a car.

Following the announcement, the app is no doubt flooding with car owners declaring routes from Singapore to JB for you to sign up to, or--if you're the one with the car--for you to enlist carpoolers for.) During a promotional period until Jul 4, the app is also offering a RM10 ($3.31) bonus for every ride completed.
