ComfortDelGro imposes taxi fare hike to help drivers defray higher operating costs

The company’s fleet, except limousine taxis, will see a $0.50 increase in flag-down fares.

ComfortDelGro will improve fare increase and new surcharge horse starting 6 a.m. on 13 December to help its drivers defray higher operating costs.

In an announcement, the taxi operator said its fleet, excluding limousine taxis, will see a $0.50 increase in flag-down fares and a one-cent increase in distances and waiting time fares.

The adjustment covers Hyundai i40, Hyundai Ioniq, Hyundai Kona, BYD E6, Toyota Prius, and Toyota Sienta taxis.

The flag-down fares for limousine taxis will remain the same following its revision on 30 November 2023, whilst distances and waiting time fares will be adjusted to $0.36 from $0.35.

With the adjustment, the estimated fare for a 10km off-peak normal taxi trip will increase by an estimated 6.8% or $0.94 to $14.74 from $13.80.

Meanwhile, ComfortDelGro extended the evening peak hour surcharge for all taxis by one hour to cover the period from 5:00 p.m. to 11:59 p.m., effective Monday through Sunday, including public holidays.

The company will also implement a new peak hour surcharge from 10:00 a.m. to 1:59 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
