Mr Ban Kum Cheong, a Singaporean taxi driver, said passengers do want to go further than Larkin Sentral, and Singapore drivers would be able to serve their needs, but fares would need to be revised.
Enforcement would also be needed to ensure drivers from either country pick up passengers only from designated locations, he added.
The 54-year-old said that the authorities should think about how to maintain the harmony between drivers from Singapore and Malaysia “because we can do each other’s job already” and may be fighting for the same pool of customers.
PASSENGERS CONCERNED ABOUT PRICES, SAFETY
Passengers also had questions about how prices may change along with the rules, but told CNA they preferred the licensed services for safety reasons.
“I would need to see how much they charge,” said one passenger, who asked to be known as Ms Liaw. She was waiting for a taxi at Ban San Street Terminal.
