A traveller in Singapore can now book a Singapore taxi to travel directly from home to locations such as Johor Bahru City Square.<\/p>\n
However, a Malaysian taxi cannot pick up passengers from homes in Singapore – it can only do so at the designated pick-up points, such as near VivoCity.<\/p>\n
Cross-border taxis are also limited to operating within the approved areas in Johor, that is, Johor Bahru, Iskandar Puteri, Forest City, Kulai and Senai.<\/p>\n
Trips beyond these areas cannot be completed directly.<\/p>\n
Grab is currently the only ride-hailing platform that travellers can use to book cross-border taxis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It will <\/strong>pilot a new service called Cross-Border SG-JB (Beta), which will be rolled out gradually from May 4 on the Grab app.<\/p>\n With the new licence, Grab can offer advance, door-to-door bookings between anywhere in Singapore and the approved areas in Johor.<\/p>\n Passengers from both Singapore and Malaysia can book rides between 12 hours and seven days in advance.<\/p>\n “Grab will expand and refine the service as more licensed cross-border taxis are onboarded and with feedback from the drivers and passengers in the coming months,” the ride-hailing giant said in a media release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
