- Following a review, Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced the first set of changes to the P2P regulatory and operational framework.

Our views on each of the key announcements:
1. Statutory lifespan of diesel, petrol, and hybrid taxis to be extended to 10 years from eight years currently.
