ComfortDelGro revises taxi fare structure

ComfortDelGro Group on Monday announced that it is revising its fare structure, to come into effect at 6am on December 12, 2011.

The new fare structure will include a 10 per cent reduction in the peak hour surcharge coupled with an extension in the peak periods to include weekends and public holidays.

The morning peak period will start at 6am instead of 7am, while evening peak period will start one hour later at 6.00pm, and extend till midnight, including Sundays and public holidays.

The evening city area surcharge will also be extended to Sundays and public holidays while the current $1.00 public holiday surcharge will be removed.

Call booking charges will be reduced. The current booking fees will be reduced by 20 cents from $3.50 to $3.30 during the peak period, and reduced from $2.50 to $2.30 at all other times.

'The fare adjustment will help our drivers mitigate part of these cost increases as well as help them keep pace with the overall rising inflation costs experienced by Singaporeans over the last few months,' said Robin Lim, president of the CityCab Operators' Association
