The hours will also be aligned with the full-day bus lane operational hours from 7.30am to 8pm.
Currently, taxis which go around the CBD have to stop at designated taxi stands or along driveways of some buildings from 7am to 10pm.
Some passengers feel it's better to remove the rule completely.
"(Let's) just not have this rule and let us alight wherever we want to because we are paying for the cab," said a member of the public.
"I don't think it's necessary, because taxis can pick up passengers or alight passengers anywhere... as long as you don't obstruct any vehicle," said another.
Presently, if taxi drivers violate the CBD taxi rule, they will get three demerit points. From March 1, that penalty will be removed. But the fine will be increased from S$100 to S$130.
