Singapore taxi operator ComfortDelGro (CDG) will begin offering cross-border services into Malaysia from September 25, The Straits Times has reported.
Customers of the service will be dropped off at the Larkin Sentral terminal in Johor Bahru, which is the designated drop-off point for taxis from Singapore.
According to the city-state’s largest transport provider, most taxi trips on this route will cost SGD80 (RM272), however pick-ups from the Ban San Street taxi stand will cost SGD60 (RM197), while pick-ups from the airport will cost SGD120 (RM394), according to CDG.
All 90 ComfortDelGro drivers with a valid cross-border licence will be available for the Singapore-Johor Bahru service, a spokesperson has said. “We recognise the growing demand for cross-border transportation and are committed to expanding our travel options for passengers, as well as more earning opportunities for our cabbies,” said the CDG spokesperson to The Straits Times.

hello singapore, what people demand is point-to-point ride meaning drive them from one address in singapore to their desired address anywhere in malaysia. not force to drop off at stupid larkin . if the govt cannt deliver this simple demand then PH, sorry i mean PAP , should step down now now.
Seems like you have no brain. You think Singapore belong to you and can dictate policy as to suit you .
I sapot but Msian taxi drivers also cannot do point to point into SG so PAP, I mean PH Gomen has to both step down now. I sapot this too!
there isnt any much demand from Johor into Singapore. the demand is one direction only which is travel orignating from singapore bound towards peninsula malaysia.
Use your brain lah! There are plenty of users that prefers to go into SG address from Johore.
thats the problem with plainbs who didnt use brain, once entered singapore travellers have alternative to use public transport since they are a tiny urbanized island. but going the opposite direction, peninsular is massive, for example singaporean wants to travel to Desaru Johor or genting highlands, its not so feasible or practical to use public transport? so that is where the main demand comes from .
Stupid troll. Have you ever tried going to Punggol from Woodlands? Both are neighbouring districts but there is no direct MRT line between so you have to take all the down to City Hall and then back up. Do you know how much time was compared to ride hail direct from checkpoint?
Should change your name to plan stupid.
” no direct MRT line between so you have to take all the down to City Hall and then back up” is no great hardship . you just admitted that even in a worst case scenario MRT travel is still possible between the two points just that in a more roundabout way. typical kiasu singapore dont know how good they have it , why dont you try travelling between any two states in malaysia and see whethere there is any MRT available for you.
