Temporary Targeted Support for Lower-income Ride-hail Drivers and Delivery Riders Without Access to Subsidised or Discounted Fuel

Sectors

Taxi and private hire cars

7 April 2026

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Mr David Hoe asked the Prime Minister and Minister for Finance given fuel prices have risen significantly because of the Middle East conflict, whether the Government will consider temporary targeted support such as time-limited fuel rebates or equivalent cash offsets for lower-income ride-hail drivers and delivery riders without access to subsidised fuel or company-negotiated fuel discounts with petrol pump operators.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.      This question was addressed by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry, the Acting Minister for Transport and Senior Minister of State for Finance, and the Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs, in their Ministerial Statements on the Impact of the Middle East Situation on Singapore at the Parliamentary Sitting on 7 April 2026.
