SINGAPORE, Nov 6 — Singapore and Malaysia will increase the quota of licensed cross-border taxis from 300 to 500 per country from November 16, 2026, while allowing two additional ride-hailing operators to provide services under the enhanced Cross-Border Taxi Scheme.
A joint statement by the transport ministries of both countries said the two new operators, CDG Zig Pte Ltd and Kumpool Sdn Bhd, would also be licensed to operate under the scheme from the same date.
“Commuters and drivers can look forward to more options for cross-border point-to-point trips, greater convenience and a better commuting experience,” said the statement on Friday.
According to the joint statement, the developments reflect the continued commitment of Singapore and Malaysia to strengthening cross-border connectivity and improving the commuting experience for travellers between the two countries.
