After weeks and months of wondering, the Indonesia-based ride-hailing platform Go-Jek has started a new portal where drivers can pre-register to begin using their service.

In a statement made recently, the firm said that drivers who provide their contact details will receive notifications from Go-Jek with details on how to apply to join the platform when the company launches.

The Straits Times understands the rival to Grab will launch sometime in late November.

A Go-Jek spokesman said: "There has been a huge amount of driver interest here in Singapore and we are pleased to take this important first step towards driver recruitment.

"At Go-Jek, we understand that driver-partners are crucial to successful operations, which is why we're looking forward to building strong, engaging relationships with the driver community."

The firm will provide an update on further launch details in due course.
