Oral Reply by Senior Minister of State for Transport Dr Amy Khor to Parliamentary Question on Review of Point-to-Point Services
07 Feb 2024In Parliament
Mr Yip Hon Weng asked the Minister for Transport
a. whether an update can be provided on the review looking at how point-to-point services can better meet the evolving needs of commuters, including how effective a separate COE category for private-hire cars can support this endeavour;
b. what is the expected timeline for the completion of the review; and
c. under the review, whether occasional private-hire drivers who primarily use their vehicles for personal needs will be affected.
Reply by Senior Minister of State for Transport Dr Amy Khor:
1. The on-going review of the point-to-point (P2P) industry structure and regulatory framework covers the availability, resilience and inclusivity of P2P services. As part of the review, we have been engaging tripartite partners, as well as commuters and drivers. We target to complete the review by the second half of 2024.
