SINGAPORE - SMRT Corporation Ltd (SMRT) will be bringing in 600
Prius Hybrid taxis over the course of next year, making it the
largest hybrid fleet owner in Singapore.
With this fleet, environmentally friendly taxis will now account
for approximately one-fifth of SMRT's total fleet of over 3,500
taxis.
In a statement to the press, SMRT revealed that the Prius taxis
will progressively be made available from Oct 25 onwards.
Passengers can look forward to a smoother and quieter taxi
ride.
Senior Vice President of SMRT Roads Mr Benny Lim said: "Opting for
Hybrid vehicles is a conscious move on SMRT's part in generating
more positive environmental footprint on roads.
"We are also pleased to share that beyond enhanced features like
better stability, driving mode switch, our taxi partners will also
benefit from lower fuel costs from the vehicle's greater fuel
efficiency features."
"Commuters who wish to travel green can specifically request for a
green taxi when they book with us through our hotline."
