In an interview with CNA938, SMU Assistant Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship (Education) Terence Fan said the new rule of allowing door-to-door cross-border taxi trips between Singapore and Malaysia represents a significant convenience for passengers. He noted that the quota for licensed cross-border taxis will rise from 200 to 500, although no implementation date has been set. Asst Prof Fan also addressed concerns about comfort, distance, and cost, and said the change could help ease traffic and reduce inconvenience.
