HDT Singapore Taxi granted taxi service operator licence to operate at least 800 e-taxis: LTA
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced on Tuesday (July 31) that it has granted a full-fledged Taxi Service Operator Licence to HDT Singapore Taxi
(HDTT) following a two-year trial under the Transport Innovation and Development Scheme.

HDTT will be required to convert its existing fleet of e-taxis and register them as regular taxis by Aug 31, and will gradually increase its fleet size to at least
800 e-taxis in Singapore within four years. As part of its operations, HDTT will need to ensure that sufficient charging stations are set up island-wide to
support its fleet.

HDTT will also have to comply with taxi availability and quality of service standards. With the entry of HDTT, there will be seven taxi operators in Singapore.
