12 held for offering illegal rides at Changi

In a Facebook post on Dec 19, LTA said the drivers were offering rides between Singapore and Malaysia, as well as within Singapore.

They did not have a valid Public Service Vehicle Licence (PSVL) to offer cross-border trips.

Their foreign-registered vehicles were seized, LTA said.

LTA urged the public to avoid using these services.
