CDG Zig and Kumpool to join Singapore–Malaysia cross-border taxi scheme
The two transport ministries announced a November 16 expansion, with the licensed taxi quota rising to 500 for each country.
More platforms planned from November 16
Singapore and Malaysia announced on November 6 that CDG Zig and Kumpool would join Grab as licensed booking platforms under their cross-border taxi scheme from November 16. The announcement brings two additional app operators into the scheme. [1]
The joint statement also sets a higher quota for licensed cross-border taxis: 500 for each country, compared with 300 currently. That is a permitted fleet ceiling, rather than a count of taxis already operating.
WHAT TO WATCH
The changes are scheduled for November 16. The announcement alone does not establish actual vehicle supply, booking availability, fares or shorter waits.
