SINGAPORE – Food delivery riders are moonlighting and offering illegal hitch rides on messaging platforms, with checks showing more than 10,500 messages in four chat groups on Telegram – mostly seeking rides.
The groups have a total of about 50,000 members, which is about a sixth of the 300,000 members in the nine chat groups on Telegram offering illegal hitch car rides, The Straits Times found.
