Singapore and Malaysia have announced a significant expansion of cross-border taxi services to improve travel connectivity between the two nations. The quota for licensed cross-border taxis will increase from 400 to 600 vehicles to meet rising demand. Additionally, authorities are expanding the designated pick-up and drop-off points in both Singapore and Johor, moving beyond the traditional hubs of Queen Street and Larkin Sentral. These measures are designed to provide commuters with more flexible travel options and reduce congestion at major land checkpoints.
- The number of licensed cross-border taxis is being increased by 200, bringing the total fleet to 600 vehicles.
- New pick-up and drop-off locations in Singapore will now include designated areas in Woodlands and Jurong East.
- Johor Bahru’s service points will expand to additional locations beyond the existing Larkin Sentral terminal.
- The initiative is a result of collaboration between Singapore’s Land Transport Authority and Malaysia’s Land Public Transport Agency.
- The expansion aims to shorten passenger wait times and alleviate traffic pressure on the Causeway and Tuas Second Link.
