S$3 taxi surcharge for MBS

SMRT taxis to impose S$3 surcharge for Marina Bay Sands from May 13

From next Thursday, SMRT taxis will implement a S$3 location surcharge per trip for Marina Bay Sands.

This applies to passengers who board taxis from Marina Bay Sands.

The location surcharge will be in effect from 5pm to midnight from Mondays through Saturdays, and from 6am to midnight on Sundays and public holidays.

SMRT Corporation said the location surcharge is in response to a request from the management of Marina Bay Sands to reduce the waiting time for taxis at its premises.

SMRT's move came after the announcement by ComfortDelGro, TransCab and Prime Taxi that they will start imposing the surcharge from next Wednesday.
