The Transport Ministry is looking into converting cabbies and private-hire drivers into temporary transport ambassadors amidst the COVID-19 crisis.
Observers said the rise could be due to the fact that the law was extended to private-hire vehicles, which outnumber cabs more than two to one, last October.
SMRT's smallish footprint in the bus sector grew even smaller when it lost the Bulim and Seletar route packages to Tower Transit and SBS Transit, respectively.
A serious collision between two private buses caused a three-hour jam on the Kranji Expressway (KJE) early today morning.
