Taxi and private hire operators will be providing a one-time allowance of at least $100 for any cabby or private hire driver who needs to be quarantined for the Wuhan virus.
Members of the National Private Hire Vehicles Association (NPHVA) and the National Taxi Association (NTA) will receive an additional one-time $200 assistance from the associations, National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) said in a release on Saturday (Feb 1).
This is on top of the $100 per day allowance given by the Government.
Gojek, Grab, Ryde and their fleet partners will also enjoy rental waiver if they are affected by the quarantine. Taxi operators ComfortDelGro, SMRT, Premier Taxi and Trans-Cab already announced on Monday that affected cabbies will not have to pay rental fees.
The tripartite care package was put together by NPHVA, NTA, the Land Transport Authority, taxi operators and private-hire car operators to support quarantined drivers.
