On Thursday (23 Nov), ComfortDelGro Taxi announced via Facebook that it will be adjusting its limousine taxi fares starting 30 Nov.

Current fares are S$50 per transfer and S$60 per airport arrival transfer.
“The cabbies and us at ComfortDelGro appreciate your understanding and continued support amidst these carefully considered adjustments,” ComfortDelGro added in the announcement.
While limo cabs will see fare adjustments, the same hasn’t been announced for ComfortDelGro’s regular fleet of taxis.
Though taxi drivers are feeling the heat, so will customers if the fares are increased.
