Nowadays so hard to get cabs when you really need it.
Hope this new scheme will have more cabs on the road.
Taxi association hopes cab firms will agree to new renting scheme that aims to boost service levels
The National Taxi Association (NTA) hopes to get taxi firms to agree to a new cab renting system that will assign two drivers to one vehicle.
This means hirers need not look for their own relief drivers which can be a problem.
The proposed new arrangement will see the hirer and relief driver both enter an agreement with an operator.
The initiative is one of several that the NTA has embarked on in its bid to make it easier for taxi drivers to find relief drivers. Another is a workshop held Saturday morning at the Employment and Employability Institute at Jurong East to encourage drivers to co-share and educate new taxi license holders about the industry.
