Overview
- The company, which received approval Tuesday, will run by-invite rides on a 12-kilometer loop in Punggol that links homes to shops and the Punggol Coast MRT station and bus interchange.
- This phase is the final step before a public launch, with selected residents riding as Pony.ai and ComfortDelGro gather feedback with the Land Transport Authority to refine operations.
- The route takes about 55 minutes end to end and could cut travel times by up to 15 minutes compared with current public transport options.
- Pony.ai casts the move as part of a dual-engine plan to scale robotaxis in China and overseas, extending a partnership that began with a July 2024 MoU and a Guangzhou pilot in March 2025.
- Market coverage highlighted the milestone as shares traded around $8.94 to $8.97 Tuesday premarket, with the next financial update expected May 19 and watched for signs of scalable progress.
