    [SINGAPORE] The National Private Hire Vehicles Association (NPHVA) has urged Grab to delay changes to its driver incentive scheme, saying it is “particularly concerned” about the impact on drivers’ earnings and income stability.

    The call, made on Monday (Jun 23), comes just over a week before the ride-hailing platform intends to roll out its revised incentive structure, which aims to reward consistent drivers.

    In a Facebook post, NPHVA requested that Grab delay the implementation of the change “for further deliberation”.
