LTA reviewing how service in taxi industry can be further improved
SINGAPORE : The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is reviewing how service in the taxi industry can be further improved and will announce the improvements by early next year.
In a written answer, Transport Minister Raymond Lim said LTA has been working with the Singapore Taxi Academy on a number of initiatives.
For example, since
July, a computer-based English assessment, the Workplace Literacy
Computer-Adaptive Test, was adopted as a more systematic method of
testing the English proficiency of Taxi Driver's Vocational Licence
applicants.
LTA added that it plans to tap into the S$1 million Taxi Fund to improve taxi information at taxi stands in the next few months.
It
will also use the funds to construct temporary taxi stands in the
Chinatown area during the Singapore River Hongbao event early next year.
The fund, which was set up last year, was intended as a
temporary measure to provide some help to the taxi industry during the
economic downturn.
