Six drivers were caught over a two-week operation at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints for providing illegal cross-border ride-hailing services.<\/p>\n
The operation was the result of regular tip-offs from the National Private Hire Vehicle Association and the National Taxi Association, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in a Facebook post on Thursday (Oct 22).<\/p>\n
Senior Minister of State for Transport Sun Xueling revealed that a total of 260 vehicles have been impounded since July last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added that the authorities will continue with such efforts to enhance commuter safety for cross-border travels and to protect the livelihoods of Singapore’s point-to-point transport drivers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, LTA reminded providers of such illegal services that those caught could face fines of up to $3,000, jail of up to six months, or both.<\/p>\n
Vehicles used could also be forfeited, the authority added.<\/p>\n
“For your safety, only book a Singapore-registered cross-border taxi or a licensed cross-border ride-hailing service<\/a> on Grab for your trips to Johor Bahru, Iskandar Puteri, Forest City, Kulai and Senai,” the authority said.<\/p>\n Those who come across illegal ride-hailing services can report such activities on the LTA’s online form<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n editor@asiaone.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Six drivers were caught over a two-week operation at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints for providing illegal cross-border ride-hailing services.
