Commuters face higher costs for rides as petrol prices rise

Commuters in Singapore can expect to pay higher taxi and private-hire fares as fuel prices climb. The cost of petrol has risen by nearly 20% since the war on Iran started. Operators like ComfortDelGro have introduced surcharges, while other transport companies offer fuel discounts to support drivers. Analysts warn more measures may follow if global tensions persist, potentially pushing fares up further. Germaine Wong reports.
