According to eyewitness accounts, the new tactic involves using smaller sedans instead of larger licensed vehicles, making it harder for enforcement authorities to spot illegal operations. Some reports suggest that family members or associates are directly involved in these operations, complicating detection further. Commenters on driver-focused forums expressed frustration, citing that these activities disrupt the livelihoods of licensed Singaporean taxi and PHV drivers, who must comply with strict regulations, insurance requirements, and licensing fees. “They’re breaking Singaporeans’ rice bowls,” one forum user remarked, highlighting the economic impact on local drivers. Public Encouraged to Report Illegal Activity Authorities have urged the public to report any suspicious vehicles or illegal transport activities through official LTA channels. The LTA contact form, available at https://www.lta.gov.sg/, allows citizens to lodge complaints, ensuring swift investigation and action. Legal experts note that operating an unlicensed transport service in Singapore carries serious penalties, including fines and possible prosecution. Passengers using such services may also be liable, underscoring the importance of choosing licensed providers. With the increased scrutiny, enforcement officers continue to monitor cross-border traffic, including HDB estates and Changi Airport drop-off points. The LTA has pledged to take firm action to protect local drivers and uphold Singapore’s transport regulations. As these illegal operations evolve, authorities are calling on drivers and passengers alike to remain vigilant and cooperate with enforcement efforts to maintain a safe and fair transport system.
