Taxi Stand in Vicinity of Blocks 216 to 222 at Lorong 8 Toa Payoh

Mr Sitoh Yih Pin asked the Minister for Transport whether a taxi stand can be implemented at a suitable location in the vicinity of blocks 216 to 222 at Lorong 8 Toa Payoh at the request of the residents who reside in the area.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: We build taxi stands in locations where there is high taxi demand, to facilitate pick-up and reduce disruption to traffic flow. As the taxi demand along Lorong 8 Toa Payoh is relatively irregular and low, it would be difficult to justify building a taxi stand there.
