Motorists in Singapore, are these some of those frustrations that you face quite often? From a fellow motorist to other motorists in Singapore, can you relate to some of those driving/parking experiences below?
- Getting stuck at car park gantry due to insufficient funds (and you have to search desperately for a top-up machine)
- Car park gantry reader cranky / not working properly
- Car park gantry reader reads your car In-Vehicle Unit (IU) but doesn’t want to “talk/connect” and deduct your money
- Cash card spoilt
- Cash card expired
- You need to have two different generations of cash cards in your vehicle
- Car IU spoilt
- You have to step out of your vehicle, take out your cash card and insert your cash card into gantry machine
- You have to step out of your vehicle, take out your cash card and tap your cash card at the gantry
Don’t you wish that is a motoring app (and also an All-In-One motoring app) to resolve those parking pains above? With the launch of the AXS Drive app – Motorists in Singapore can now Drive and Park Smarter. In a short summary, AXS Drive links your credit card to your car license plate and IU number that would enable automatic deductions when the vehicle exits the car park.
Writing with my motoring enthusiast thinking caps on, I recalled my earlier driving experiences (when I still have a family car to drive) a few years back. There were a number of occasions (in some industrial estates in Singapore), I had to step out of the car and insert my cash card into the gantry machine for the parking payment to be deducted before I can drive away. I was wondering why doesn’t the car park operators, the parking gantry setup and the car IU setup talk and work together?
At the media launch of the AXS Drive app on 17th July 2024, this service can be used at 12 car parks. Currently, 55 commercial car parks are already on-board and will progressively come on live with the AXS Drive. During a live demonstration of the AXS Drive app in action at Downtown East during the media launch event, we can see the ease and breeze for drivers leaving the car park, all thanks to AXS Drive app.
AXS Drive is more than just a parking app, they are an ecosystem for motorists, an All-In-One motoring app, they also have value-added features and integration of services for car park operators that would eventually benefit us motorists. While AXS Drive is starting off in the parking for commercial spaces, shopping malls and offices, I am looking forward to their expansion into HDB car parks down the road. You can read more in-depth about launch of AXS Drive on my TGH Technology and Business website.
Even though I don’t own a car and my family doesn’t have a family car as of now, I am going to download the AXS Drive app. If I do get to use one of those car sharing service or car rental service, I can use the AXS Drive app.
With AXS Drive, now only you can now drive and park smarter, this app future growth and development is of great potential to transform into an All-In-One super app for everything motoring related in Singapore. As a motorist (that currently doesn’t own a car), AXS Drive has the technological and payments capabilities, and as a platform to bring different organisations in the motoring sector to come together on one common platform for motorists in Singapore.
