Singapore’s Largest Taxi Firm Raises Fares as Fuel Prices Climb

ComfortDelGro Corp., Singapore’s largest taxi operator, will raise fares temporarily as it moves to shield cabbies from surging fuel costs driven by a global energy shock.

Passengers will pay an additional S$0.50 ($0.39) to S$0.80 for trips starting from March 24, the company said in a social media post on Tuesday. Metered rides will also see a S$0.01 increase in the distance-time rate.
