ComfortDelGro imposes taxi fare hike to help drivers defray higher operating costs

The company’s fleet, except limousine taxis, will see a $0.50 increase in flag-down fares.

ComfortDelGro will improve fare increase and new surcharge horse starting 6 a.m. on 13 December to help its drivers defray higher operating costs.

In an announcement, the taxi operator said its fleet, excluding limousine taxis, will see a $0.50 increase in flag-down fares and a one-cent increase in distances and waiting time fares.

The adjustment covers Hyundai i40, Hyundai Ioniq, Hyundai Kona, BYD E6, Toyota Prius, and Toyota Sienta taxis.

The flag-down fares for limousine taxis will remain the same following its revision on 30 November 2023, whilst distances and waiting time fares will be adjusted to $0.36 from $0.35.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
