SINGAPORE - In the first move of its kind here, SMRT Taxis will replace its mobile display terminals used by cabbies to accept jobs with a Grab Driver app.

The app enables SMRT drivers to manage earnings and receive jobs from across SMRT's existing booking system, street hail and the Grab platform. SMRT passengers who make phone bookings can also expect a shorter waiting time for their drivers, as their bookings will be allocated with the updated mapping tools and ride optimisation features the Grab platform offers.SMRT Roads president Tan Kian Heong said:"We have been working with Grab on this project for a year now. This new system will seamlessly integrate Grab's driver app with our street hail system, providing convenience and more job opportunities to our taxi partners.

With this, SMRT is able to supervise and control the entire dispatch and fleet operations from a central portal efficiently.
