Smart Cab

SMART Cab was established in 1991 with 3 vehicles. With over 2,441 Smart Cabs on the road today, an impressive record of clients containing many Multi National Companies (MNC), SME and government bodies have been built up over time. Frantically, SMART has their Supreme limousine service using Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).

Johnny Harjantho, Managing Director of Smart Cab started with diesel vehicles for his own company. He believes that when the economy continues to grow, there will be more vehicles on the road and inevitably pollution. Thus, Johnny decided to be a pioneer of the CNG and take up the green challenge to support the environment and create a clean city for healthy living.

Land Transport Authority (LTA) has not renewed Smart Taxi service operator licence when the licence expires in 30 September 2013. The LTA had noted that Smart Taxi had multiple failures in the service standards such as consistently failing to meet the call booking cater rate. It also failed other standards such as accident rate and first inspection passing rate.

In addition, the company failed to meet our regulations for the licence to be renewed, involving minimum fleet size. Its fleet shrunk from 701 in January 2013 to 268 in July 2013, way below the minimum threshold of 800.

Smart's 268 taxis account for the 1 per cent of the total taxi population in Singapore. LTA's chief executive Chew Hock Yong said the closure should not affect commuters much. The LTA will facilitate the sale of Smart's eligible taxis to many operators such as TransCab, ComfortDelGro, SMRT, Premier and Prime, together with drivers.

Smart Cab's exit brings the total number of taxi operators to six, and later promoted the use of GrabTaxi systems since January 2014.
