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.<\/em><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n The Straits Times<\/em> reported that the implementation date has not yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n Taxis at the Lucky Plaza taxi stand in Singapore.

Under the new arrangement, both governments will expand the number of approved pick-up locations, including those used by ride-hailing and e-hailing platforms.<\/p>\n The updated rules follow several months of discussions. Interest in legal cross-border taxi services surged in mid-2025 when Singapore authorities began cracking down on illegal operators. The enforcement drive came after local ride-hailing drivers reported that Malaysia-registered cars were picking up passengers inside Singapore at places such as Changi Airport and Gardens by the Bay.<\/p>\n The statement added that land transport links<\/a> between the two countries are among the busiest globally, reflecting deep business and people-to-people ties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nSingapore and Malaysia have reached an agreement to allow cross-border taxis to drop off passengers at any location to improve convenience for travelers.\t<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
