LTA withdraws warning to taxi driver, will review rule for cabbies to search vehicles for lost items: MP

SINGAPORE – The Land Transport Authority has withdrawn a warning issued to a taxi driver for failing to search his vehicle for a wallet accidentally left behind by his passenger.

The incident sparked discussion online after the taxi driver took to Facebook page Ben Chia Lor – Singapore Road to share his appeal against the letter of warning on Tuesday. She added that the associations and National Trades Union Congress believe that the safety of drivers must be a top priority, and their work conditions often do not allow them to search for items accidentally left behind by passengers in a safe and effective manner.

After they alighted, a male passenger boarded the car and the driver took him to Sembawang Community Club.
