SINGAPORE : From Monday, commuters will need to remember only one number when booking a taxi.
That number is 6-DIAL CAB or 6342 5222.
The Land Transport Authority and taxi companies said this one booking number will make it easier and more convenient for commuters and tourists to call for taxis.
It is one of the initiatives from the Land Transport Master Plan announced early this year.
The common number will complement current call booking systems.
The current hotlines will still be in use for commuters who have a preference for taxis from any of the existing companies.
Under the new common taxi booking number, commuters will have access to up to three taxi companies.
The call will first be routed to one selected company. If the line is busy, it will be diverted to another taxi company.
The call will only be terminated after three unsuccessful attempts. - CNA/ms
