The Land Transport Authority (LTA) supports the Interim Measures Directions issued by Competition & Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) to Grab and Uber. In particular, we note that the measures pertaining to the removal of exclusivity obligations and impediments to market contestability will further promote market competition in the point-to-point (P2P) transport sector.

LTA is in the process of reviewing the broader regulatory framework for the P2P sector, including studying how to structure the sector and license private hire car (PHC) booking service operators. This is to ensure the sector remains open and contestable and no single operator dominates the market to the detriment of commuters and drivers. Where necessary, we will work with CCCS, taxi companies, and PHC booking service operators to operationalise CCCS's IMD requirements.
