Singapore: 94 staff retrenched as HDT shuts electric taxi business due to Covid-19

Friday, 27 Nov 2020 11:52 PM MYT

This move came four years after the firm entered the market. It was granted a 10-year service operator licence by the Land Transport Authority in 2018. It will also provide retrenchment benefits to affected staff members, which include taxi drivers and the back-end team who managed taxi operations.They will be paid one month of salary for every year of service, on a pro-rata basis.

Taxi driver Wilson Pereira, who was told this morning that he had been laid off, said: “I was not prepared for it... it really came as a surprise.” “Drivers who wish to continue driving can consider joining HDT’s private hire car and private bus arms, or joining other taxi operators or transport companies. NTA will also help those who wish to consider transiting to other career options outside of transport,” she said.
