SINGAPORE: The implementation of a new regulatory framework for the taxi and private-hire car sectors will be delayed again to October, as operators have asked for more time to prepare their applications, the Land Transport Authority said on Friday .
Both Singapore-based Grab and Indonesian firm Gojek will be applying for the Ride-Hail Service Operator Licence, with Grab noting it will also be applying for the Car-Pool Service Operator Licence. Taxi operators - who currently operate under the Taxi Service Operator Licence, introduced in 2003 - will however not have to apply for a new licence.
In a Facebook post on Friday, Dr Puthucheary said the new framework will make rides safer for passengers, as vehicle and driver safety standards currently imposed on taxi operators will also apply to ride-hailing firms.
