SLIDING TACKLE

A new taxi app that uses crowd-sourcing to show the availability and location of taxis across the island will be available by the middle of next month.

Launched by the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the app – called Taxi-Taxi@SG – aims to better match available taxis to commuters.

Through an integrated platform map, commuters can easily locate the number of available taxis near them, and broadcast their positions so taxi drivers can identify the exact locations of potential customers.

Similarly, taxi drivers can make use of this app to cut down the time spent on the roads looking for customers, LTA said on Monday (Nov 24).
