Tuesday is the first day of operations after the taxi rule in the Central Business District (CBD) was tweaked.
Cabbies are now allowed to pick up and drop off passengers at side roads, instead of only at designated stands and driveways of buildings.
Some taxi drivers and commuters are still adjusting to the change.
But getting taxis in the CBD should be easier now.
Although most welcomed the move, fine-tuning the rule barely three weeks after it was introduced has also caused some confusion amongst cabbies and commuters.
The Land Transport Authority had acknowledged it will take some time for cabbies and commuters to adjust to the new rule.
For cab drivers, they have until 1st May to do so after which they face fines of S$100 and three demerit points.
Commuters can expect more taxi stands in the CBD, and prominent signs directing them to the nearest one.
