for the transport operator said: \u201cWe are aware of the two incidents involving the same vehicle and the driver is no longer with the company. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">\u201cSafety is our absolute priority and we do not tolerate breaches of our safety protocols.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The most recent video, posted on the SGRV Admin Facebook page on Feb 24, shows a yellow cab with a door on the driver\u2019s side open as it moves on a road flanked by landed properties. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\"

video<\/p>\n<p><\/a>, also posted on the same Facebook page, shows a taxi with the same licence plate travelling on the rightmost lane of a road, also with a door on the driver\u2019s side open.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The video was taken in Bartley Road East on Feb 19, according to the caption accompanying the post. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">It is not clear if there were any passengers in the taxi during both incidents. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/taxi-driver-dismissed-after-two-separate-incidents-of-cab-moving-with-door-open\"
