Singapore and Malaysia have reached an agreement to allow cross-border taxis to drop off passengers at any location to improve convenience for travelers.
Both countries will also gradually increase the number of licensed cross-border taxis from 200 to 500 on each side, according to Channel News Asia.
Despite the relaxed drop-off rules, foreign taxis will still be allowed to pick up passengers only at designated locations to prevent them from operating as local point-to-point services, both transport ministries said in a joint statement on Dec 5.
The Straits Times reported that the implementation date has not yet been confirmed.
