Here in Singapore there are NO Illegal things ...the law is very strict and UBER is legal here.
I will double checki guess that you write about the legality replying to @ricko66 post.
here is a question asked on line about if the passenger is assured in case of an accident:
....
It will be difficult, since the drivers are not employees of these apps providers.

Some of them are not even employees of vehicle rental companies that Uber and Grab partner with.
So, until there is clear legislation that says that all private-hire and limousine service providers must purchase insurance that covers passengers, users of these services should buckle up and hope for the best.
I am a transport manager. I don't know the laws in Singapore, but I can tell you how it is in Europe. Any vehicle with a license for people transport, like Private hire... must have by law, paid their insurance that covers the people!! The private hire license is not given or it's suspended if no such insurance is ongoing...
I am Italian but i live here in Singapore as i have fond work here.
Yes I know, Back home in Europe it's like this but unfortunatlly here the passenger is not covered.
also here the taxi take you everywhere for aprox. 10-15 Euro while in Milano it is a nightmare to find the taxi - you need to call a special number 028585 - wait sometimes 30 minutes - and a short ride will cost at least 30 euros
so UBER is a good solution
