From 1 July, customers can expect to pay an additional S$0.70 when booking their rides through the CDG Zig App.

Other services they have introduced include electric vehicle charging points and private bus charters.
The firm added that they were introducing the platform fees “to continue to enhance the quality of (their) services” to customers.
In spite of this, customers who book rides via call and text channels will not be affected by the fee.
Taxi operator plans to upgrade app
According to The Straits Times, the 4,000-driver strong transport operator held their annual general meeting in April.
During the meeting, they told shareholders they were upgrading their app with new and improved user functions and services.
It was not specified what these functions and services would be.
ComfortDelGro will share more information on their new platform fee through their website in due time.
