Hi Jason, yes rules by LTA for all taxi companies to comply.

TD have logbooks to clock the mileage.

Hi rat, i am not sure. But taxi companies are able to track your trip details. Maybe other seniors give u a better answer.

Thnx moving.......hope any seniors can enlighten me, as I plan to go OMO.....but must pass TDVL first...

250km is full shift (24 hrs). no specific timing but drivers usually drive during peak hours to take advantage of the surcharges and higher demand.

Thnx taxiuncle, so the taxi coys track you via the MDT for ontr during peak hours?

rat · A Forum Supporter

LTA require more taxi ontr 7am-11am & 5pm-11pm, correct me if I'm wrong.....so how your taxi coy know if the hired is following LTA requirement
s?

if i'm not wrong, the taxi company only needs to meet the 250KM per day for 25% of their fleet.

the percentage will increase annually to meet the market demand.

i think the data can be collected by the MDT effortlessly.

TU thnx for clarifying

Originally, 70% of the fleet must clock 250km daily. 70% of the fleet must be on the road during the peak hours.

With effect from 1 Jan 2014, both of these percentages have been raised to 80%.

In 2015, both will be further raised to 85%.

thnx sir.......wah like that jialat for omo. - Seems like LTA trying to discourage those going omo? Or trying to wayang for the public so as not to seem impotent......taxi fare not reasonable enough? Taxi pax in Singapore too pampered? Try taking cab at our nearest neighbour dare to Kpkb anot?

For a 12 hr shift, no sitting at kopitiam chit chatting, just 30 mins lunch, some pee or smoke breaks, 250km should not be a problem..

Taxilim, sir like that TU very pai miah......LTA want to dictate what time to drive - referring ti peak hour timing ontr

taxiuncle · Senior Guru

yes, LTA is trying to make taxi to spend more time OTR rather than parking inside geyland or MBS carpark.
definitely to discourage OMO so more people can drive a taxi and cover the demand during peak hours.
