Four drivers were nabbed by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Tuesday (Feb 11) for illegally providing ride-hailing services within Singapore, and to/from Malaysia. In a Facebook post, LTA said the drivers' foreign-registered vehicles have been impounded. A video accompanying the post showed several Multi-Purpose Vehicles (MPVs) being towed away from housing estates. LTA reminded the public to avoid using illegal ride-hailing services, which do not have proper licencing and insurance. This poses «serious risks» to passengers when accidents happen. «We will continue to take action against drivers who provide illegal hire-and-reward services, including cross-border trips without a valid Public Service Vehicle Licence (PSLV),» said the authority. Offenders may face a fine of up to $3,000, a jail term of up to six months, or both. Their vehicles may also be forfeited.

SINGAPORE — A woman who fell while climbing the stairs of a double-decker bus has lost a civil negligence suit against transport operator SBS Transit (SBST) and the bus driver. In a written judgment published on Feb 11, a district judge said it was unfortunate that the woman was injured and that he sympathised with the pain and suffering she experienced. The judgment did not give details of her injuries. «Nevertheless, the fault did not lie with the second defendant's driving,» said District Judge Samuel Wee. He said that based on the video footage from the bus, it appeared that the woman missed a step, lost her balance and fell as the bus moved off from the bus stop. When she was cross-examined in court, she confirmed she was fit, robust and did not require any mobility aid to get to the upper deck of the bus. Judge Wee also noted that she had chosen to find a seat on the upper deck instead of the lower deck, which had available seats. The passenger, Madam Tran Thi Phuong Nga, was in her late 60s when she boarded the bus on Feb 17, 2020.
