Mr Siow, who is also Acting Minister for Transport, announced additional support for the domestic transport sector and businesses, noting that sharp fuel price increases have hit the earnings of platform workers, private-hire car drivers and taxi drivers.<\/p>\n
The government will disburse S$200 in cash to active platform workers, private-hire car drivers and taxi drivers from the end of this month.<\/p>\n
Eligible platform workers are those with net earnings from platform work exceeding S$500 a month across all platform operators for each month from December 2025 to February 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Central Provident Fund (CPF) Board will automatically disburse the cash payout based on net earnings declared by platform operators when making CPF contributions.<\/p>\n
Payouts will go out via PayNow-NRIC by end-April, or GIRO by May 11. Those without PayNow-NRIC or a valid bank account will receive the payout via GovCash by May 18.<\/p>\n
The cash relief also applies to all taxi drivers who held a vehicle hire agreement with a taxi operator from December 2025 to February 2026. The Land Transport Authority will automatically disburse payouts by mid-May to eligible taxi drivers who do not receive them through the CPF Board.
