Cab drivers work long hours and their health is always at risk.
Sometimes their welfare is always neglected as they work on their own.
It is very heartening to see that the National Taxi Association is distributing out free N95 masks to help cabbies combat the haze.

Haze measures: National Taxi Association to distribute masks, eyedrops to drivers

SINGAPORE: With the haze hitting "unhealthy" levels this week, the National Taxi Association (NTA) announced it will distribute 1,000 bundle packs each consisting one N95 mask, two surgical masks and one small bottle of eyedrops to taxi drivers at Changi Airport on Thursday (Sep 18).

Channel NewsAsia understands that Member of Parliament Ang Hin Kee, who is advisor to the association, will lead the distribution at 2.30pm at Changi Airport Terminal 1. Members of NTA's executive committee will also be present.

The NTA serves all taxi drivers in Singapore. According to its website, it aims to "be the collective voice for taxi drivers in Singapore to further their interests and enhance their social and economic well-being." They currently have 18,000 members, the website states.
