Viewpoint: Is ride-hailing in Singapore becoming too expensive?

from The Afternoon Update with Lynlee Foo · host MONEY FM 89.3

Ride-hailing was once seen as the convenient — and sometimes cheaper — alternative to taxis. But many commuters in Singapore start to feel that a private-hire ride is more expensive lately.  Several ride-hailing platforms have raised their platform fees, and depending on the time of day, the difference between apps can be quite significant.  On Viewpoint, Lynlee Foo speaks to Aqil Hamzah, Journalist from The Straits Times to find out what is driving these rising costs — and are commuters really getting the best value anymore?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
