SINGAPORE - A total of 14 drivers were arrested by the Land Transport Authority in a three-day operation this week at the Changi Airport for providing illegal chauffeur services.

The latest arrests bring the total number of drivers caught for providing illegal cross-border services to 32 since 2022, an LTA spokesperson told The Straits Times. One website with a Malaysian contact number offered a ride from Singapore to Mount Austin in Johor Bahru on a multi-purpose vehicle at a starting fee of $100.

The National Private Hire Vehicles Association said on Facebook on Aug 30 that it has been working with LTA on the crackdown and is “seeing positive steps” towards tackling the Malaysian point-to-point services offered by illegal drivers at the airport.
