    [SINGAPORE] Grab’s entry into Singapore’s taxi market is likely to give the leading incumbent ComfortDelGro a run for its money.

    Studies have shown that people who choose to drive taxis are those who want to devote more time to driving for a living. Private-hire car drivers, on the other hand, are a mix of full-time drivers and part-timers who also use their cars for personal purposes.

    Moreover, taxi drivers are permitted to provide ride-hailing trips, while private-hire car drivers are not allowed to take street-hail passengers.
