SINGAPORE - Taxi operators and private-hire firms will get an additional $112 million in financial assistance from the Government.
This is on top of a $77 million package announced in February and a second tranche of $120 million rolled out in March. The Land Transport Authority said on its Facebook page on Tuesday that the additional aid is to"help our point-to-point drivers and operators tide over this difficult period". At the same time, the LTA said it has also made changes to the Private Hire Car Driver's Vocational Licence criteria to align it with requirements for a Taxi Driver's Vocational Licence.
With immediate effect, all new PDVL applicants must be Singapore citizens who are at least 30 years old.
