SINGAPORE -- ComfortDelGro, Singapore's largest taxi operator, announced Wednesday that it will be removing the 30-Singapore-cent diesel surcharge on taxi rides with effect from 06:00 a.m. local time (2200 GMT), on November 12.
The company, which runs a fleet of 14,000 cabs, said in a statement that the move was in light of the recent decline in diesel prices and the weakening economic condition.
