BlueSG to Pause Car-Sharing from August 8 as Major Overhaul Begins, Relaunch Planned for 2026

BlueSG has announced a temporary suspension of its electric car-sharing service in Singapore, with operations to halt at 11:59PM on 8 August 2025. The pause marks the start of a full platform revamp aimed at launching a next-generation car-sharing experience in 2026.

New Platform, New Cars, Better Network

In a public announcement, BlueSG shared that it is embarking on a major technology and service upgrade to keep pace with the evolving landscape of shared mobility in Singapore. Key highlights include:

  • A completely new platform for smoother user experience
  • A refreshed fleet featuring a wider range of electric vehicles
  • A significantly expanded network of pick-up and drop-off locations islandwide
  • Improved reliability and operational efficiency

This overhaul, BlueSG says, is built upon valuable lessons from years of operating Singapore’s first electric car-sharing scheme.

Current Users Assured: Refunds, Support & Account Closure Info

To minimise inconvenience to its members, BlueSG will continue to manage billing, refunds, subscription adjustments and account closures until 31 August 2025. For lingering enquiries, email support will remain available until 1 October 2025.

The company also assures users that all changes will be communicated clearly and promptly through official channels. Dedicated customer service remains on standby through live chat and email throughout the transition.

Importantly, existing users will receive exclusive privileges when the new BlueSG service relaunches in 2026 — a move likely aimed at retaining customer loyalty through the pause.

CEO: “We’re Reimagining Car-Sharing in Singapore”

Keith Kee, CEO of BlueSG, explained that the current infrastructure has reached a point where incremental tweaks aren’t enough. The platform needs to be rebuilt from the ground up to deliver what he calls “unprecedented efficiency, scalability and user-centric design”.

“We’re not just upgrading — we’re reimagining what car-sharing in Singapore can be,” he said, adding that advanced technology and deep operational expertise will form the backbone of the new system.

What Comes Next?

While specific features, vehicle models or launch dates remain under wraps, BlueSG has promised that more details will be released in the coming months.

Until then, commuters relying on BlueSG for short-term transportation will need to explore alternative services such as GetGo, Tribecar, or traditional rental platforms.

Despite the disruption, BlueSG’s bold step could signal a turning point for Singapore’s car-lite and green mobility future, especially if the relaunch delivers on promises of smarter, cleaner and more convenient urban travel.
