Flexar Offers First 5 Minutes Free For Efficient Hit-And-Runs
BlueSG has officially rebranded as 'Flexar,' a name chosen specifically because ‘Total Vehicular Liability’ was too hard for the average Punggol resident to pronounce.
The car-sharing service, which begins its beta phase on April 15, allows any random siao lang with a valid driving license and a functioning Singpass to terrorize the roads without the burden of a membership fee or a shred of common sense.
In a move to attract more poverty-stricken speed demons, Flexar has scrapped deposits, realizing that people who rent hatchbacks by the minute usually don't have enough money in their bank accounts to trigger a Giro deduction.
“We wanted a name that reflects the 'flex' of driving a car you don't own while pretending you aren't three months behind on your credit card bills,” said a spokesperson while nervously eyeing a dented fender.
The new tiered pricing system ensures that the longer you spend illegally idling in a fire engine access lane, the less you pay per minute for your lack of social grace.
Crucially, the first five minutes of every rental are free, providing the perfect window for users to commit a quick hit-and-run or a public nuisance offense and ditch the car before the first 52 cents is even deducted.
The fleet now includes combustion engine cars, finally catering to traditionalists who prefer their environmental destruction to be loud and smelly rather than quiet and efficient.
Users are also encouraged to pay for the 'Collision Damage Waiver,' which is essentially an indulgence from the Pope for when you inevitably treat the vehicle like a bumper car at a pasar malam.
The beta test is currently restricted to the North and East of Singapore, as the authorities believe the residents there are already well-acquainted with chaos and have a higher tolerance for seeing cars parked on top of landscape bushes.
Flexar management confirmed that while the brand is new, the signature interior aroma of the previous driver’s stale armpit sweat and unidentified floor stains will remain a core part of the 'sharing economy' experience.
With no deposit required, the barrier to entry is now so low that even your most chronically unemployed friend can borrow a car to go buy a pack of cigarettes and mount a kerb in style.
This satire is based on a real news story.
