SINGAPORE, Jan 9 (The Straits Times/ANN): From Feb 1, only fully vaccinated taxi and private-hire drivers will be allowed to ferry passengers, even as their associations seek a longer notice period for drivers to fulfil the latest requirement.

Yeo Wan Ling, adviser to the National Taxi Association and National Private Hire Vehicles Association, said unvaccinated drivers have expressed concerns about not being able to get fully vaccinated in time, which means a loss of income while they still need to pay for expenses like vehicle rental fees.
