Taxi-hailing apps GrabTaxi and Hailo are now legit with the Singapore government. Well, not that they weren’t before, but now they have been granted a certificate of registration to operate a third-party taxi-booking mobile app in the city state.
According to a press release by Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA), the certificates are valid from today (December 1, 2015) and for three years. At the end of that period, the law provides renewal options.
The certificates are issued in accordance with Singapore’s Third-Party Taxi Booking Service Providers Act, enacted recently as a means to regulate taxi-booking apps. According to the legislation, in order for an app operator/provider to qualify for registration, they have to use only LTA-licensed taxis which are driven by professional taxi drivers. They also have to work with a fleet of over 20 cars.
