8 drivers caught in S'pore for providing illegal point-to-point services, foreign-registered vehicles impounded

Eight drivers were caught by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in a joint enforcement operation with the Singapore Tourism Board.

According to LTA's Facebook post, the drivers were providing illegal point-to-point services to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum and Gardens by the Bay.

They were also found to be clear of providing unlicensed tourist guiding activities.

The drivers' foreign-registered vehicles were impounded.

"LTA will continue to act against drivers who provide illegal point-to-point services using vehicles," LTA stated.

LTA advised passengers to avoid using illegal point-to-point services as these services pose serious risks without proper licensing and insurance, especially when accidents occur.

If convicted, offenders may face a fine of up to S$3,000 and/ or six months' imprisonment, and their vehicles may also be forfeited.
