To ensure that more taxis are on the the road during peak hours, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has set stricter standards for taxi firms.
Under new LTA regulations, taxi firms must ensure that 85 percent of their fleet are on the road during peak hours, between 7:00am to 11:00am and 5:00pm to 11:00pm. Taxis must also meet a daily minimum mileage of 250km on weekdays.
These new rules will kick in on 1st January.
Both standards have been steadily increased since they were put into place last year. Currently, 80 percent of the fleet must meet the mark; last year, it was 70 per cent. According to LTA figures, there are around 28,000 taxis on the road.
