SINGAPORE, Oct. 24 -- Six drivers were caught over a two-week operation at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints for providing illegal cross-border ride-hailing services.

The operation was the result of regular tip-offs from the National Private Hire Vehicle Association and the National Taxi Association, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in a Facebook post on Thursday (October 22).

Senior Minister of State for Transport Sun Xueling revealed that a total of 260 vehicles have been impounded since July last year.

She added that the authorities will continue with such efforts to enhance commuter safety for cross-border travels and to protect the livelihoods of Singapore's point-to-point transport drivers.
