SINGAPORE - Two car drivers and a motorcyclist were booked and had their vehicles impounded during enforcement operations conducted by the Land Transport Authority earlier in May.
A check by The Straits Times found that the most popular carpooling chat group, SG Hitch, currently has more than 190,000 members. Such safeguards include verification of driving licences and a kept record of details of booked trips, which can be used to aid investigations in the event of a dispute, she said.
According to LTA, six drivers were charged in court for the offence of illegal carpooling from 2020 to 2023. All drivers were fined $1,200.
