Cutthroat taxi app wars heat up with LTA’s Taxi-Taxi@SG

Find out how this app differs.

The Land Transport Authority has officially launched its very own taxi booking app on Wednesday, further complicating an already cutthroat battle for third-party taxi booking apps in the country.

The app, called Taxi-Taxi@SG, has one big difference compared to other apps. Instead of booking a taxi, it allows users to see if there are available taxis nearby.

With this information, commuters can better decide whether to continue waiting for a taxi on the street, walk to a location with more available taxis, book a taxi instead, or make alternative transport arrangements.

Another difference is the universe of coverage: some third-party taxi booking apps also show the locations of taxis, but only those taxis which have signed up with them, whereas Taxi-Taxi@SG shows the location of all available taxis from the 28,000 taxis registered in Singapore.

The app also enables street hail commuters to broadcast their current locations, allowing taxi drivers to find out where there is a high demand for taxis.
