The National Taxi Association (NTA), an association affiliated to the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), continue to engage taxi drivers regularly in response to developments in the Middle East. Drivers are feeling the strain from rising fuel costs, and stakeholders are coming together to help ease the pressures collectively.

In close consultation with NTA, STRIDES Premier has stepped forward to roll out additional support measures for its taxi and Private Hire Vehicle (PHV) driver‑partners to help mitigate the impact of rising fuel costs.

STRIDES Premier has introduced the following measures:

  • A one-time $50 fuel credit that can be used at STRIDES Premier’s in-house fuel station at Changi South. This credit will be provided to all STRIDES Premier’s taxi and PHV driver-partners
  • Fuel savings of up to 35% compared to prevailing market rates at STRIDES Premier’s in-house fuel station
  • Up to $500 fuel credits for new taxi or PHV driver-partners: $250 for a 12-month contract, and $500 for a 24-month contract
  • An increase in street hail fares by 1 cent per distance and time-based unit fare, effective 30 March 2026

NTA will continue to engage all taxi operators to secure further support for drivers.

Ms. Yeo Wan Ling, NTUC Assistant Secretary-General and Advisor to NTA said, “Taxi drivers are feeling the full impact of rising fuel costs, and it is eroding their livelihoods with every trip they take. NTA has raised our drivers’ concerns with taxi operators, and drivers cannot be left to shoulder this burden alone. Operators have a responsibility to the drivers who keep this industry moving. We welcome STRIDES Premier for stepping up and supporting our drivers through this challenging period. NTUC and NTA will continue to work with our taxi operators to put in place meaningful support measures for our drivers.”

Mr. Ang Wei Neng, CEO, STRIDES Premier said, “Our taxi and PHV driver-partners are the backbone of our business, and in times of rising fuel prices, we stand by them. That means $50 fuel credits for every hirer and fuel at our in-house fuel stations at up to 35% below market rates, putting more money in their pocket.”
