Transport companies to handle own lost and found items
The Land and Transport Authority will no longer be handling lost and found items retrieved from public transport companies in January next year.
Instead, the various bus, taxi and train operators will be directly handling all reports on lost and found properties made by their customers.
The LTA says the move will help the transport companies be more responsive to their customers' needs.
If the owners cannot be traced or the found items not claimed within three months, the transport companies may dispose the items via public auctions or the items may be donated to charity.
Passengers are advised to report any incident of lost and found items to the relevant transport companies.
