SINGAPORE — Starting next month, some 37,000 ComfortDelGro taxi drivers will be able to enjoy free admission to all ActiveSG gyms and swimming pools every Wednesday for the rest of the year, announced Sport Singapore and ComfortDelGro today (Jan 31).
The move will help taxi drivers lead a more active lifestyle amid their erratic work schedules, said ActiveSG Chief Lai Chin Kwang.
“We are excited to have ComfortDelGro Taxis partner us in promoting awareness of more sporting opportunities, especially given its extensive network,” Mr Lai added.
Besides access to ActiveSG facilities, taxi drivers can also sign up for workshops or programmes to learn light exercises and engage in topics related to health and fitness, said Sport Singapore. ComfortDelGro and ActiveSG will also work closely with each other to organise sporting programmes and facilitate sport interest groups among the taxi drivers.
ComfortDelGro (Taxi Business) CEO Yang Ban Seng said: “Given the sedentary nature of their job and the hours our drivers put on the roads, the welfare and health of our taxi drivers has always been one of our main concerns. Therefore, we are happy to collaborate with ActiveSG to encourage our drivers to keep fit and healthy. This partnership complements our health checks and health coaching sessions that we conducted for our taxi drivers last year.”
ActiveSG is a national movement to promote sports launched last year by Sport Singapore — previously known as the Singapore Sports Council.
