The new scheme, called the Covid-19 Driver Relief Fund, will cost $133 million. - ST FILE SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Drivers of taxis and private-hire cars will get a higher amount of grants to offset their vehicle rental fees 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. Main taxi hirers and full time private-hire drivers in the point-to-point (P2P) transport sector will get S$600 per vehicle each every month between January and March 2021, up from $300, announced LTA.
