LTA grants Geolah, Trans-Cab three-year ride-hailing licences

The two operators met the authority’s standards on safety and service.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) granted Geo Lah Pte Ltd (Geolah) and Trans-cab Services Pte Ltd (Trans-Cab) three-year ride-hail service operator licences (RSOL).

Prior to this, Geolah and Trans-Cab operated on one-year provisional licences that allowed them to provide point-to-point (P2P) services from 1 January 2025 whilst they meet LTA’s standards for safety and service before they are considered for a full three-year RSOL, the LTA said.

Over the past year, the two operators have demonstrated that they are able to meet LTA’s regulatory standards for full licences, it added.

The RSOL is valid until 31 December 2027.

Seven ride-hailing operators now hold RSOLs with Geolah and Trans-Cab.

These operators are CDG Zig Pte Ltd, GrabCar Pte Ltd, Ryde Technologies Pte Ltd, Tada Mobility (Singapore) Pte Ltd, and Velox Digital Singapore Pte Ltd (Gojek).

Under LTA’s P2P regulatory framework, operators with 800 or more bookable vehicles on their platforms will be licenced based on the type of services, such as street-hail, ride-hail or car-pool services, they provide, the LTA said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
