SINGAPORE – More cross-border taxis will be available for travellers heading into Malaysia or vice-versa from Nov 16, when the quota for such vehicles from each country will go up from 300 to 500.
Two other operators – CDG Zig and Malaysian ride-hailing operator Kumpool – will also be granted licences to ferry passengers across the Causeway. They will join Grab, which is currently the only ride-hailing operator allowed to do so.
In a joint statement on Nov 6, the transport ministries of Singapore and Malaysia said these developments mark the commitment of both countries to strengthen cross-border connectivity and enhance the commuting experience.
They added that the move will continue to enhance business, as well as people-to-people ties in the two countries.
The new quota marks the final step in hitting the target goal of 500 licensed cross-border taxis in Singapore and Malaysia – a figure first announced by the two ministries in a joint statement on Dec 5, 2025.
During an overhaul of the cross-border taxi system on May 4 that aimed to make such services between Singapore and Malaysia more flexible and attractive, the quota for both countries was increased from 200 to 300.
