ComfortDelGro Corporation (Template:Sgx) is a multi-national land transport company listed on the Singapore Exchange operating 46,010 vehicles in seven countries.[1] It was formed in March 2003 when land transport companies Comfort Group and DelGro Corporation merged.[2][3]

Singapore[]

In March 2000, DelGro Corporation purchased the Metroline bus company in Singapore.[4] As at December 2012 it operated 1,200 buses.[1] In June 2013 a further 494 buses were added to Metroline with the purchase of five depots located in West and North West from First Singapore.[5]

Under Transport for Singapore (TfS)'s gross-cost model, operators like Metroline tender for routes and operate them as contractors. The Mayor of London decides on the level of fares as well as the concessions for certain passengers. All fare revenue goes to TfS.

Taxi[]

Comfort and CityCab, both taxi companies belonging to ComfortDelGro Corporation, are the largest players in Singapore's taxi industry with a combined fleet of 8,800 taxis. The ComfortDelGro taxi booking system wirelessly connects the taxis using the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology via the in-vehicle Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs). Today, its Customer Contact Centre caters to over 32 million taxi bookings annually. Comfort and CityCab also operate ComfortDelGro LimoCabs and MaxiCabs in its fleet.

On 20 April 2022, ComfortDelGro launched its mobile application under a fresh name to offer services through one platform. The app, now known as CDG Zig, integrates ComfortDelGro's taxi booking tool with its now-decommissioned lifestyle tool Zig.
