  Singapore Commuter Pte Ltd, Singapore Bus Service Taxi Pte Ltd and Singapore Airport Services Ltd merged to form CityCab in April 1995, since Singapore Commuters has the largest fleet, yellow became the colour for CityCab.
  
  CityCab is jointly owned by ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited and Singapore Technologies Kinetics.
  
  Still remember SBS Taxi was the first with auto door and their fleet of Toyota Crown were equipped with automatic transmission.

  Anyway SBS , SABS and SCC were all merge together to form Citycab in 1995.
