Why Singapore’s regulations on taxi apps are bad for consumers

Tomas Forgac is an economist and entrepreneur. He is the founder of Coin Of Sale, a bitcoin POS system.

[​IMG]

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore announced it would start regulating third-party taxi apps and outlined details on them. All of the five points mentioned by LTA will have unintended consequences on competition, prices, availability, and convenience of the taxi apps.

1. Taxi apps will have to register officially with the LTA, upon which they will receive a certificate lasting for three years.

Compulsory registration with LTA is redundant. As with any other business, they are listed with Singapore’s company registry and they already need to adhere to the same tax, legal, labour, and other rules. The need for an additional license raises costs for future competition. If the first-movers will have institutional rather than market advantage, they will be able to exploit their position at the expense of consumers.

2. Taxi apps will only be allowed to dispatch licensed taxis and drivers – defined as those holding valid Taxi Driver’s Vocational Licences.

The requirement for all drivers to hold taxi licenses has the most serious consequences because the license is available only to Singapore citizens above 30 years old. That license is the main reason why it is virtually impossible to get a cab when it rains or in peak hours. It limits the supply of labour and leads to taxi shortages. Unless it will be made available to foreign labor en masse, the inability to catch a ride will remain a leading complaint among Singaporeans using taxi services 1.

3. All information on fare rates, surcharges, and fees payable for the journey will have to be disclosed to users before they accept the booking.

This solves a problem which doesn’t exist. Prices are driven down by competition and once consumers choose their preferred service, they rarely look at fares when using it. Many consumers prefer seamless user interface rather than clicking through additional screens they wouldn’t read anyway. At any rate, fare disclosure should be left up to consumer preferences. Taxi apps should implement it only based on feedback.

4. Taxi apps are not allowed to require users to specify their destinations before a booking. This is to prevent drivers from picking and choosing.

This regulation harms consumers instead. Drivers are already in a privileged position that protects them against competition from younger or foreign labor, and this is what’s causing a taxi shortage on the roads. It merely solves a problem created by past regulations, a fact that applies to regulations in general. While allegedly trying to fix an issue, they create more headaches which take much longer to fix. Just stick to a free market.

5. Taxi apps must provide customer support, such as lost-and-found services and platforms for enquiries or complaints.

Having a working customer support and a lost-and-found office are such basic business practices for transportation companies. So it begs the question: why bother putting it into regulation? In addition, if there is demand for ultra-low-cost services by low-income consumers who won’t need such additional services available to them, such a regulation wouldn’t allow them to exist.

The problem with regulation processes are that they typically involve existing players on the market who naturally try to call for requirements which they already meet or can afford, but which would limit ground-up operations that might compete with them in the future. It’s no surprise Uber, the most established and best funded global player is welcoming these regulations (see Nick Gillespie’s comment on this topic). Even if regulations are made with the best of intentions, they tend to introduce unintended consequences while trying to solve issues which free market competition takes care of much more efficiently.

These rules are not as horrible as some other places where taxi unions managed to get all third party taxi apps banned. But for a country which rightfully prides itself with highest levels of economic freedom and ease of doing business, these requirements go against building a culture of innovation.



1. Editor’s note: Opening up taxi licenses to foreigners might be a hard sell politically. As this cab driver notes: I don’t know of any other jobs here that has this requirement, where foreigners are not allowed to take up this vocation. Even in strategically important agencies like Temasek Holding, which is responsible for investing billion of dollars of public money, it does not require Singapore citizenship for their Number one position. Therefore, either taxi driving is the most privileged job in Singapore or it’s the last resort for redundant Singaporean workers. Of course, the former is not true. I think the over 100,000 Singaporeans with vocational taxi license, are all eligible voters. This large number of voters together with their family members, are politically important to the incumbent government and cannot be taken lightly. To lose the astronomical number of cabbies votes is suicidal and therefore, they must be pampered and their vocation protected at all costs.

As Facebook faces uncertain future, Malaysian government now considers censorship of YouTube

[​IMG]

The Malaysian government is on a roll. Three months back, it mulled over the possibility of banning Facebook locally, following 2,000 reports of abuse made in the country. Thatdidn’t sit well with Malaysians at all. Now, the Malay Mail Online reports that authorities are looking into setting up a firewall on a number of websites including YouTube.

The goal: to ensure that any content which does not adhere to the guidelines set by the Film Censorship Board – and hence is not suited to the local culture and sensitivity – cannot be viewed by locals.

The Home Ministry is teaming up with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to make this a reality. Home minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says in the report that this was a matter of urgency, and he advises “the commission to implement the system soon.”

“We want to create awareness among the public, specifically film goers, that the censorship board has a social and religious responsibility to ensure movies adhere to set guidelines […] Content creators have to make sure their content do not lead members of society out of social and religious norms,” he adds.

Malaysia has one of strictest laws regarding media censorship in the world. Earlier this year, Hollywood’s Noah was banned for being “un-Islamic.”

Crowdfunded in China: maglev speakers, smart table coasters, and mini massagers

In past Crowdfunded in China lists, we’ve always covered projects that have met or surpassed their fundraising goals. But that metric is growing increasingly arbitrary both in China and western crowdfunding sites as many startups just throw in their own cash to bolster hype.

As a result, we’ve decided to drop the requirement and simply provide a list of what we think are the best. The projects on this month’s list are all still raising funds. Here’s our top five for November:

Levi – the Maglev speaker


[​IMG]

This Bluetooth speaker looks sure to catch both the eyes and ears of everyone who passes by. Powered by the same technology as high-speed maglev trains, the floating ball is also immune to resonance created by speakers that are grounded to hard surfaces. Levi promises 10 hours of continuous playback on a single charge and also works with NFC devices. The final retail price is RMB 599 (US$98), but early bird buyers can preorder it for RMB 399 (US$65) on Demohour. Levi has raised over RMB 18,000 (US$2,940) so far.

CentM – dashboard air cleaning


[​IMG]

We see a lot of smart air purifiers on Chinese crowdfunding sites. Probably too many, in fact. But CentM makes it onto our list as the first smart air purifier we’ve seen that’s specifically made for cars. Place it on the dashboard and CentM will both clean the air and serve as a wireless charging pad for phones equipped with a compatible case. It can be plugged into a car’s cigarette lighter or a normal wall outlet, so it can also be used in small indoor areas like a computer desk. CentM just started crowdfunding on Demohour, so it hasn’t raised much money yet. Preorder one at the early bird price of RMB 399 (US$65).

Leravan – sticky massages


[​IMG]

Leravan claims to be the world’s smallest portable massage device. At just a centimeter thick and about four centimeters in diameter, sticks to skin and gently vibrates to relax the muscles. As a very hairy man, however, I’m worried that this can only attach to clean, smooth skin. The device is controlled via the accompanying smartphone app. Leravan has raised over RMB 2 million (US$327,000) on Demohour so far, with less than a day remaining in its campaign.

Snail – tentacle phone cable


[​IMG]

We spend hundreds of dollars on our smartphones, but when it comes to their data and charging cables, most of us just go the cheapest possible route. Snail wants to change your mind with its flat, wide design lined with suction cups. That might seem like a gimmick, but it actually has several useful applications. First of all, it’s durable and it doesn’t tangle. Stick it to a surface so it doesn’t fall to the floor when it’s not connected. Even use it as a stand to vent heat or keep your device upright. Snail comes in a variety of loud colors, and has raised over RMB 78,000 (US$12,700) on JD Coufenzi.

Coaster – because every little damn thing in your house needs to be “smart”


[​IMG]

Our first ever Crowdfunded in China list featured Cuptime, a smart cup that tracks the user’s daily water intake. Cuptime went on to raise a US$5 million funding round. Keeping in line with China’s infatuation with drinking enough water as a keystone of health, Coaster serves a similar function. The smart table coaster monitors water intake and transmits at information to the accompanying app. Coaster has raised over RMB 84,000 (US$13,700) so far on JD Coufenzi.
