SINGAPORE: A total of 14 people have been caught in recent enforcement operations against illegal cross-border transport services, said Senior Minister of State for Transport Sun Xueling on Monday (May 25).<\/p>\n
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been conducting the operations islandwide – including at Changi Airport and Gardens by the Bay – over the past few weeks, said Ms Sun in a Facebook post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Monday, LTA and the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) also conducted a joint enforcement operation at Singapore’s land checkpoints at Woodlands and Tuas.<\/p>\n
This is “part of our continued efforts to safeguard commuter safety and protect the livelihoods of our local point-to-point drivers from illegal cross-border transport services”, added Ms Sun.<\/p>\n
She noted that since May 4, cross-border taxis have been allowed to drop off passengers anywhere in Singapore and across several parts of Johor under enhancements to the transport scheme.<\/p>\n
“With the school holidays coming up, please travel safe and engage licensed cross-border transport service providers,” she said, adding that the authorities will continue to work closely with their Malaysian counterparts to improve cross-border travel arrangements.<\/p>\n
In a separate Facebook post, LTA said that all 14 vehicles were impounded. It warned that drivers caught providing illegal ride-hailing services may be fined up to S$3,000, or jailed for six months, or both, and that their vehicles may also be forfeited.<\/p>\n
Since July 2025, LTA has checked over 3,900 vehicles “as part of ongoing efforts to safeguard commuter safety and protect the livelihoods of licensed drivers”, it said.<\/p>\n
The authority added that the recent islandwide operations were based on regular tip-offs from the National Private Hire Vehicles Association and National Taxi Association. Members of the public can also report illegal ride-hailing activities here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
