For limousine and premium cabs, passengers now pay between 34 and 36 cents for every 400m travelled up to 10km, every 350m travelled after 10km, and every 45 seconds or less of waiting time, depending on the taxi operator. According to the Consumers Association of Singapore's pump price tracker, Fuel Kaki, a litre of 92-octane petrol currently costs $2.94 to $2.96, while diesel costs $2.93 to $2.98 per litre before discounts.

The authorities had earlier said that pump prices are likely to remain elevated after rising 30 to 40 per cent in the past six months.
