The Land Transport Authority announced that passenger limits on taxis and private hire cars will be lifted from August 10, 2021.
Carpooling services will also resume from Aug. 10.
Paid car pooling services that are done through licensed ride-hail platforms, such as GrabHitch and RydePool, may resume.
However, paid car pooling trips which are arranged through informal platforms, such as those in Telegram groups, remain illegal.
Car pooling trips with families, friends or colleagues, which do not involve payment, are permitted.
But, these trips will be subjected to the prevailing permissible group size of five people.
