x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Would ComfortDelGro management goes into exclusive discussions with Uber if it is not to their advantage? Ask yourself, as a businessman, would you do something that does not bring benefits to yourself? Unless it is a charitable act. Singapore government always signs deals with foreign countries that bring mutual benefits, not one sided gains.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	I view this positively as its win win situation.  ​ 1. CDG driver who if not alrdy using Grab are now officially able to use the appln and drive CDG taxi , hv to be positive as there are an additional channel for income.  ​ 2. Grab drivers in fact are at an disadvantage now  ​ Whatever it has to be positive.  KiLrOy      ( Date: 22-Aug-2017 22:45) Posted: I am pretty negative with this piece of news though.   Clearly ' throwing a white towel' news to me.

So far CDG is too slow in responding to anything/everything. I wonder, whether they still have many and confusing charges ? Goldfinger      ( Date: 22-Aug-2017 20:47) Posted: This will potentially wipe out Grab given CDG's size. Can also tie up on the MRT side with cross discounts for those switching from cab to MRT and buses.

Singapore cabbies are feeling the heat from the intense competition from private car hire firms like Grab and Uber. This is especially apparent with the shrinking size of ComfortDelGro's taxi fleet. According to DBS Group Research, whilst the group is less impacted, its fleet size has also shrunk recently to 15,600 as of June this year from about 16,800 taxis in December last year. "The group has implemented more flexible rental schemes to attract and retain drivers," analyst Andy Sim said. The analyst added, "Whilst there could be near-term headwinds, we believe that private cars for hire and taxis would co-exist over the longer-term."
