SINGAPORE: Taxi operator ComfortDelGro said on Wednesday (Dec 6) it will increase its flagdown fare and other surcharges to help cabbies defray higher operating costs due to rising fuel prices, high inflation and the impending Goods & Service Tax (GST) hike.
ComfortDelGro’s fleet, excluding limousine taxis, will see a S$0.50 (US$0.37) increase in flagdown fares and a S$0.01 increase for distances and waiting times to S$0.26.
“With this adjustment, the estimated fare for a 10km off-peak normal taxi trip is estimated to increase by 6.8 per cent or S$0.94 from S$13.80 to S$14.74,” said Singapore’s largest taxi operator.
Flag-down fares for limousine taxis will remain the same, but distances and waiting time fares will be increased from S$0.35 to S$0.36.
The new fares will come into effect at 6am on Dec 13.
