Point-to-Point Travel Options

A queue at a taxi stand

Besides an extensive public transport system, there are also options for commuters if they prefer to take a taxi or private hire car. LTA’s priorities for both taxi and private hire car providers are commuter safety, transparent pricing and meeting transport demands.

Following the passing of the Point-to-Point (P2P) Passenger Transport Industry Bill in August 2019, the P2P regulatory framework commenced in October 2020. Click here for more information on the P2P Bill. Under this regulatory framework, operators are licensed based on the services they provide, i.e. street-hail, ride-hail or car-pool services. A street-hail service is a taxi service obtained through flagging from the streets or at taxi stands. A ride-hail service is a P2P transport service obtained through a phone or application booking.
