- The times of the strait
If food deliveries are now the new norm in your home, you can get your next bento from a taxi driver instead of the usual food delivery service.
Singapore’s transport operator ComfortDelGro launched a new food delivery service on Wednesday (April 29) with a fleet of 10,000 taxis.
Available from 9am to 10pm daily, the ComfortDelivery service will allow the company’s taxi drivers to have an additional source of income during the Covid-19 circuit breaker period.
Deliveries will be charged at distance-based rates starting at S $ 6.50 for the first 3 km, but restaurants may also choose to include two returns on a reservation at rates starting at S $ 8.50.
Taxi drivers do not need to pay to be part of the service, and all fares will go directly to them during the switch, which ends on June 1.
To participate, drivers must bid for delivery work through the transport company’s ComfortDelivery Driver app. The restaurant will make the payment to the driver through PayNow or in cash at the time of collection.
The drivers involved are trained on how to use the app and the safe handling of food, the transport company said. They must also comply with the rules for safe distancing.
Restaurants and eateries can subscribe to the service through the official website for immediate access, ComfortDelGro added.
Participating restaurants will be able to track the driver’s location and see when the order was successfully delivered to the customer.
