    IF 2023 was the year of aggressive fleet expansion for Singapore-based GetGo, 2024 was about hitting the brakes.

    After growing its fleet to 3,000 vehicles in 2023, the car-sharing firm focused on getting more users last year, Toh Ting Feng, co-founder and CEO of GetGo, told Tech in Asia.

    Beyond expanding its fleet size, the firm also upped its staff count and inked new partnerships in 2023. This increased its burn rate, causing the company to move into the red that year.
