As Singapore’s transport landscape continues to evolve, many drivers have been thinking about what the future holds, what opportunities may be available, and how they can continue to build stable and sustainable livelihoods.
During yesterday’s Parliamentary session, a Manpower Transition Package for taxi and private hire car drivers was announced. Developed in partnership with NTUC, the Government, and industry partners, the package aims to provide drivers with greater support should they wish to upskill or explore new career pathways.
The package includes:
• A training incentive of $20 per hour to help ease costs associated with attending approved training.
• Career Conversion Programmes, including pathways into roles such as Autonomous Vehicle Specialists and Bus Captains.
• Enhanced career guidance to help drivers better understand their options and make informed decisions.
We welcome this as a meaningful step towards supporting drivers who wish to upskill and explore new opportunities, are encouraged that the concerns and aspirations of drivers continue to be part of the national conversation. We thank our Advisor, Sister Yeo Wan Ling, for continuing to advocate for platform workers and ensuring that drivers’ voices and concerns are represented as Singapore prepares for the future of transport.
While changes in the industry will take place over time, it is important that drivers are equipped with the support, opportunities and confidence to navigate them. NPHVA will continue working closely with our partners to advocate for initiatives that strengthen drivers’ livelihoods and help our members prepare for the road ahead.

📢 Lower Season Parking Charges for Eligible Commercial Vehicles from 1 August 2026
We're pleased to see a positive change that will benefit our combi bus drivers.
From 1 August 2026, HDB and URA will lower season parking charges for commercial vehicles with an unladen weight of 1,801kg to 2,000kg, aligning them with passenger car rates. This applies to eligible vehicles with registration prefixes G, C, P and Y.
This is a welcome development. Over the years, NPHVA has consistently raised the issue of season parking affordability with the relevant authorities, highlighting that some commercial vehicles used by private hire drivers were paying significantly higher charges despite their similar size and usage.
This improvement will help reduce operating costs for eligible drivers and is a meaningful step in the right direction. We'll continue engaging stakeholders to advocate for policies that support the livelihoods of P2P drivers.

NPHVA is deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of the 66-year-old private hire driver, who succumbed to injuries sustained following an assault by a passenger last year.
NPHVA extends our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Our thoughts are with them as they cope with this immense loss.
The Association strongly condemns all acts of violence against point-to-point drivers. Drivers dedicate themselves each day to serving the commuting public, and they deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and to carry out their work in a safe environment.
NPHVA is of the view that offences of this nature warrant severe punishment. We hope that a sentence commensurate with the gravity of the offence will be imposed.
The safety and well-being of drivers will always remain an important priority. NPHVA will continue working with stakeholders to advocate for measures that strengthen protections for point-to-point drivers and support a safer working environment for all.
Our thoughts are with the driver's family and all those affected by this tragic incident.
