Singapore TDVL case studies
Singapore TDVL · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Taxi Driver's Vocational Licence (TDVL) is the vocational credential that a person must hold in Singapore in order to drive a taxi for hire. It is issued by the Land Transport Authority (LTA), which regulates point-to-point transport services alongside public transport, driving matters and industry licensing. The TDVL is aimed at individuals preparing to work as taxi drivers - typically holders of a valid driving licence who intend to earn a living carrying passengers - and at existing drivers who need to keep their vocational standing in order. Candidates must sit a written test before the licence is granted. The Singapore TDVL case studies are 5 cases and about 3,162 words.
