SMRT taxis will be implementing a S$5 surcharge per trip during the F1 Grand Prix period - for pickups in 14 locations in the race vicinity.
These include Suntec City, hotels around the Marina area, Hitachi Tower, Centennial Tower, Peninsular Excelsior Hotel, Millenia Tower and Funan DigitaLife Mall.
The surcharge will be in effect from 10.30pm to midnight on September 26 and 27, and 9.30pm to midnight on September 28.
SMRT said the move is to meet the expected increase in demand for taxis after the races.
For those taking public transport, SMRT said 960 additional train trips will be introduced on both the North-South and East-West lines on race days.
Train services will also be extended till 1.30am on these days.
