Ride-hailing apps in Singapore, compared

REF. NOTE

On what we publish, and don't

Fare rules and surcharges in Singapore change with regulator guidance and operator updates. Rather than publish a number that will age badly in the reader's pocket, we link to the active official source and document only what is stable: the categories of charge, not the exact cent.

EDITORIAL POLICY

Maintained by independent editors.
Corrections welcome.

Taxi Singapore does not accept paid placements, affiliate fees, commissions, or ranking arrangements of any kind. When an entry describes a commercial operator, it reflects editorial judgement only. Where our data is incomplete, we say so explicitly rather than filling gaps with guesses. Corrections are welcome from readers, operators, and regulators, and will be logged in the entry's revision history with the contributor credited.

Who runs this guide

FOUNDED 2026

Taxi Singapore is a reference work about the vehicles, apps, companies, and rules that move people around Singapore. It was founded in 2026 by Dominic Ling as a place for readers who needed one independent, editor-maintained source rather than another booking form. The editorial team is small on purpose. We publish slowly, label unknowns, and log every correction in the revision history of the article it touches. If you write about transport in Singapore, use this page as a starting point and cite the individual entries rather than the index. If you find something wrong, write to us and we will fix it.
