ComfortDelGro will waive full taxi rental for its drivers for another month, following the government’s move to extend the circuit-breaker period, an announcement revealed.

The further full rental waiver is expected to cost the firm an additional $17m, bringing the total relief package given to taxi drivers to $116m.

ComfortDelGro Taxi has been working with delivery companies and restaurateurs to provide alternative jobs to cabbies.
