SINGAPORE - It could soon be easier to get flag down a taxi, if
tripartite partners are successful in getting taxi drivers to maximise
the earning potential of their cars.
Advisor to the National Taxi Association Seng Han Thong said that the tripartite workgroup formed to improve the availability of taxis on the roads is looking into ways to incentivise more drivers to utilise their taxis.
There will be a nation-wide data sharing system to better match drivers because of the feedback from taxi drivers about the difficulty of finding suitable relief drivers, said Mr Seng, who revealed that currently 40 percent of the 27,000 taxis are one-man operations.
Mr Seng was speaking at the launch of the publication Taxi Tales in Singapore, a first-of-its-kind bilingual publication that provides insights to the real-life stories and interesting facts relating to taxi drivers in Singapore.
