SINGAPORE: The average net monthly earning of taxi drivers in 2014 was S$3,173 for a single-shift operation, and S$5,933 for a two-shift operation, said the Minister of Manpower Tan Chuan-Jin on Thursday (Mar 5).
Mr Tan said this in a written response to Member of Parliament for Tampines GRC Irene Ng Phek Hoong’s Parliamentary question on the average annual salary of taxi drivers in Singapore. Ms Ng also asked about the numbers and educational qualifications of taxi drivers.
In response, Mr Tan said that as of December 2014, "about 98,000 Singaporeans held a Taxi Driver’s Vocational Licence", of which "about 56,000 of them were registered with taxi companies".
He added that about four in five were aged 50 and above, and over nine in 10 possessed non-tertiary educational qualifications.
“We do not have data on how many taxi drivers were formerly in PMET (professionals, managers, executives and technicians) jobs,” Mr Tan said.
