TADA Taxi app kicks off in Singapore

It will have an instant cashout system for drivers.

TADA Taxi launched its mobile app in Singapore, South Korean startup Mass Vehicle Ledger (MVL) revealed. They added that they will partner with Singapore taxi firms to provide a larger pool of drivers for commuters as they use TADA.

According to the firm, about 2,000 taxi drivers have registered on the TADA application.

The app kicked off after the firm received the Third Party Taxi Booking Service Provider Licence from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on 7 November. Like the TADA ride-hailing application, TADA Taxi will be operating on a zero-commission model, and no levy will be imposed on the booking fee set by respective taxi companies for drivers.

TADA commuters can enjoy the option of booking taxis from the existing TADA application as well as TADA’s newest dedicated taxi application, TADA Taxi.

“TADA Taxi will benefit drivers who find that driving taxis may help them generate more revenue, and certain demographics of riders who ultimately prefer taxis over PHC options,” MVL CEO Kay Woo commented.

The firm explained that they have rolled out an instant cashout system for drivers to be able to enjoy their available earnings in their bank accounts immediately.

Korean startup MVL announced in July their plans to roll out what it claims to be the first blockchain-based ride-hailing service in the world in Singapore. Woo noted that the firm eyes to expand to TADA to other Asian countries including Vietnam and South Korea.

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.
