December 16, 2020 The new scheme, called the Covid-19 Driver Relief Fund, will cost $133 million. The Straits Times file SINGAPORE - Drivers of taxis and private-hire cars will get a higher amount of sector-specific payouts from next year, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Wednesday (Dec 16). This is meant to help cushion the impact of a relief scheme for self-employed workers coming to an end. Eligible drivers in the point-to-point (P2P) transport sector will get $600 per vehicle each every month between January and March 2021, up from $300, announced LTA. This will be reduced to $450 a month between April and June. LTA said this new scheme, called the Covid-19 Driver Relief Fund, will cost $133 million.
