SINGAPORE, SG / ACCESS Newswire / May 26, 2026 / Ryde Group Ltd (NYSE:RYDE) ("Ryde" or the "Company") , a leading technology platform for mobility and quick commerce in Singapore, is pleased to announce strategic enhancements to its RydePET service, including the phased rollout of RydePET XL and enhanced pet travel categories designed to improve marketplace efficiency, expand ride availability, and strengthen Ryde's position within Singapore's growing pet mobility segment.

The latest enhancements introduce a premium 6-seater pet-friendly ride option alongside new pet travel classification and trip visibility features designed to improve matching accuracy, reduce cancellations, and enhance trip transparency for both riders and drivers.

Key Strategic Enhancements

RydePET XL: A larger-format pet-friendly ride option designed for families, group travel, multi-pet scenarios, and riders seeking additional cabin space and comfort. RydePET XL expands Ryde's ability to serve higher-value ride segments while increasing utilization opportunities across larger vehicle categories.
Improved Pet Travel Classification System: Riders can now specify pet type and travel method, including whether pets are travelling in carriers or on a leash, enabling more accurate matching across different pet travel scenarios.
Expanded Pet Booking Options: Additional categories for dogs, cats and other small pets broaden accessibility while enabling more accurate rider-driver matching across a wider range of pet travel scenarios.
Enhanced Driver Trip Visibility: Drivers receive upfront visibility of pet travel details prior to trip acceptance, improving transparency and helping drivers make more informed acceptance decisions.

"The pet mobility segment continues to demonstrate strong long-term growth potential as pet ownership and consumer spending on pet-related services increase across Singapore," said James Tan, Chief Product Officer of Ryde. "These enhancements reflect a strategic investment in improving marketplace transparency, expanding ride options, and strengthening the overall reliability of the RydePET experience."

James added, "We believe improved trip visibility and expanded vehicle accessibility will enhance supply participation, improve matching efficiency, and support higher-frequency pet mobility transactions across the Ryde ecosystem over time."

The Company believes continued investment in marketplace optimization, service diversification, and technology-driven user experiences will further strengthen Ryde's long-term competitive positioning within Singapore's evolving mobility landscape. Ryde remains focused on executing strategic initiatives that support sustainable platform growth and long-term shareholder value creation.
