SINGAPORE — A S$3 hike to the taxi surcharge on rides from Changi Airport will be in place for another six months until June 30, 2023, along with a one-cent increase in distance-based fares for all cab trips.

The temporary hike to the airport surcharge was first introduced in May for about a month to"ensure a better supply of taxis" there, Changi Airport said at the time. Taxi companies then extended the measure until the end of 2022.

In its Facebook post, Strides Taxi said it is extending the temporary fare increase and surcharges to help its drivers cope with the continued increase in fuel and electricity prices. In a Facebook post on Sunday, Transport Minister S Iswaran said Changi Airport is now handling up to 150,000 passengers a day, or about a million a week. This is about 75 per cent of the pre-Covid average weekly levels, he noted.
