SINGAPORE – Location surcharge hikes introduced on a temporary basis in 2022 for taxi rides starting from Changi Airport, as well as attractions at Mandai Wildlife Reserve, will be made permanent from July 1.
Taking a taxi from Changi Airport or Mandai attractions? Higher surcharges to be made permanent from July 1
For taxi rides starting from the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders and Bird Paradise, passengers will still pay a surcharge if they are picked up between 1pm and 11.59pm, but the cost has been increased to $5. In response to queries, a ComfortDelGro spokesperson said: “Location surcharges for taxis are imposed by the organisations managing those areas, not set by the taxi companies.”
At the time, taxi drivers said more money could be made in the Central Business District and at night, and with the high fuel costs then, they found no reason to go all the way to the airport, where they risked long periods of waiting with engines switched on.
