Should we try to organise a boycott of DELGRO COMFORT?

casino_king SG

are you sure the increased money go to cabbies???? Question

ask them what their reserves are? 50 or 100 years like NKF or not?

are the chairman and CEO paid more or less peanuts than Durai?

dragg SG

why am i not surprised?

sbst275 SG

Do you know that the cabbie rents the cab from ComfortDelGro? They aren't ComfortDelGro's staff in the 1st place

They pay them the rent + the diesel

You dun come and rant with all these distorted facts

casino_king SG

So the fare increase did not come with rent increase?

Why not decrease rents with the drop in COE prices? To maintain the CEO prices?

sbst275 SG

Now the cabbie can go to other operator since now there's 6, you think they will really want to raise the rent that drastic either?

Public transport vehicles ARE EXEMPTED from COE, I've said in the post abv

casino_king SG

r u sure that public transport is exempted from COE? I will check.

Now that there are 6, a boycott will force the cabbies to move to the ones that do not increase fares and charge lower rentals.

ShutterBug SG

But I'm sure you know as well, that our gov can jolly well interprete their laws as they deem fit.

sbst275 SG

It's only in your mind aft ppl telling you it's exempted, you still dun wanna believe... Even I tell you it's exempted, you will say they have to pay, cos you want to oppose

Not increase fares??? Hello, increase in fares is benefical to them or those surcharge... I think what you say to freeze the fare, ppl will run off

What you collect - the rent - the diesel = what you get

The rent and diesel is more or less fixed except diesel now is 2x more... Unless ppl go boycott the oil producing nations

COEs were pushed higher by fears of, ironically, rising COEs. The industry expects even higher prices to come...

By Leow Ju-Len & Nick Syn

Not to blow our own horn or anything, but COEs took a sharp swing upwards this week and regular CarBuyer readers will have known it was coming (see 'Three Reasons Why The COE Market Is On The Up', last issue).

After hovering around the $10,000 mark for much for the year, certificates for cars below 1.6-litres and taxis (Category A) climbed $1,096 to end bidding at $11,199. Category B COEs (for cars above 1600cc) surged $2,066 to $12,555, breaking above the $12,000 level for the first time since early December.

So who is lying? This article or sbst275 Rolling Eyes

They say SBS buses got to pay ERP, end up dun pay

You might as well tell me SBS buses also have to pay, since they are under the bus cate

Let's face it. Prices can only go up, not down, a reflection of rising cost of living in Singapore. So far, all the govt has provided is a lot of talk. And as expected, after the euphoria of the progress payouts, prices all round are rising.

A predictable after effect in the face of a majority win by the Ruling Party.

When the job market tumbled in the face of rising cost, they were the first to criticize Singaporeans for being too fussy and not accepting pay cuts. But did they set an example themselves?

All i recall was they reset their own big fat ministerial salaries even before the storm was over.

In limited-resource Singapore, boycotts, even by staunch people who are principled in their beliefs, will be as effective as an ant biting a sleeping giant. A state-owned taxi company will always get their way.

Exclamation Question

You sure or not?

That means...
SBS Transit, Comfort Taxi, Comfortdelgro is government board/GLC?

sbst275 SG

Even if cab really need to pay, ComfortDelGro's Vicom is also affected due to the higher car replacement rate

ComfortDelGro dun just run buses and cabs in Singapore, London, China, Australia, they run the largest car workshop, vehicle inspection centre in Singapore

Is it justifiable to pay civil servants or ex-MP seconded to work on public transport companies close to S$1,000,000.00 pa thereby making such public transport companies very expensive to maintain their operational costs.

It is not the oil price increases that cost the public so much. Excessive salaries paid to CEO and senior management are the main costs which should be reduced for the benefit of commuters.

Land costs should not be charged as lands were originally before corporation of transport companies into GLCs already paid by taxpayers.

It is the same as NKF refusing to admit internal high salary costs of staff which cause all the problems with high costs. Once this problem is admitted and solved by outsourcing of administration there should be no more problem with high costs.

sbst275 SG

You want to boycott, go boycott the West and oil producing nation that jacked up the oil prices

Just over Iran, North Korea, Iraq Rolling Eyes

killstyle SG

So you insist that you are not lying and that Leow Ju-Len & Nick Syn who wrote the article is lying?

Please stop telling lies.

Last time taxi fare 40 cents slowly 80 cents then $1.60 and $2.40 and now is increasing rapidly.. some might think that it is ok to rise the fare, but think twice, yes , we can take bus, mrt, but about how olds and handicapps? Some of them are having financial problems, and what more reasoning fuel, increase, COE and wadever?? Everything is increasing,fare is increasing, and our salaries has not been increasing, expenses are going high.. Even taxi-drivers said that increase of fare affect the rate of passenger boarding, they rather earn lesser..
To people who agree the rising of fares, fares has been increasing all over the years,you people wouldnt you like to take cab with starting price of $5~10 bucks in future, you cant tell..jams always occurs here, numerous traffic lights are planted, each red light increase as high as 50 cents.. ERP are to paid by passenger.. distance from east to west cost around $20 without peak and jams.. our neighbouring countries take onli 6 RM from east to west.. Does this means that local diesel has gold compound in its formula? Or the air-con being blown fromtaxi is pure 100% oxygen?

qpicanto SG

It is strange, LTA levied the 110% tax namely ARF on import vehicles AND government-linked taxi operator in order to offset this 'cost' (which is actually a revenue for the govt) set high rental in order to recover this cost.

Am I rite to say that more than 220% of the market value of the car is eventually collected ? ARF 2X ?
