SINGAPORE : Taxi drivers are riding on the economic upturn and the steady stream of passengers generated by the integrated resort (IR).
Comfort Delgro, one of Singapore’s biggest taxi companies, has seen a 20 per cent increase in calls for taxis compared with two months ago.
Taxi drivers are also earning more — by an average six per cent, compared with last year. They now earn an average of $188bet a day.
Previously, their main source of income around the midnight period came from passengers from Changi Airport.
Many visitors to Resort World Sentosa did not seem to mind paying the $3 surcharge.
There is also Universal Studios Singapore, which continues to attract visitors.
Drivers are anticipating even better business come April, when Marina Bay Sands opens
