All TAXI METERS ARE ADJUSTED SLOW =CABBIES SHORT-CHANGED

Headok SG

* Taxi Drivers here collect less than approved Published Fare

on every trips

* Commuters not aware of discounts enjoyed on every trips.

* Taxi companies not only don’t bother that their drivers are

short-changed on this ruling as this does not affect them because

they still earn full rental, they also don’t cared even if their Meters

is the slowest compared to other Taxi Models which causes their

driver to earn less than their peers.

LTA had a unspoken ruling all Taxi Meters in Singapore must be adjusted

slowed by up to 7%.

Set/adjusted slow: eg. 7% slow means for 1 KM (1000meters) distance,

Taxi need to travel another 70 meters to achieve Taxi Meter 1000 meters

marking/recording.

==============================================================

This unfair “Slow Meter Rule” will caused Taxi Drivers in Singapore to earn

at least less $5 @ day.

If only 30,000 half shifts a day is considered, lost earning by Cabbies in Singapore

will be at least $54,000,000 a year OR $150,000 a day in this industry.

Drivers whose Meter are even slower than their peers, should reconsider if it is

still justifiable to continue paying rentals to their current Taxi Company

and contribute to the salary of their Taxi bosses.

are examples/steps to test how SLOW is your METER.

==========================================

You can also test with a paying pax on board.

Just “ZERO” your GPS APPS or VEH TECHNOMETER

before you start your METER trip.

AT end of trip, compare the differences between

METER RECEIPT with GPS APPS or your

VEH TECHNOMETER.

Best test over longer distance for more obvious result.

==========================================

Simple estimate: use 0.22 cents for every 400 meters

Not recorded in METER as $ not earned

Its a fact lor ....

Drove a sonata , was a good one cos meter vs digital milage slow by 1.5 % only

Then one day , gear box gave way, sent to corporation repair, then the technician say accidentally took out battery then meter resetted and need to go soon heng reprogrammed

After reprogrammed by soon heng , meter vs digital milage slow by 4.5 % leow , on par with most sonatas ,,, lidat lor

Reliefdriver4u SG

Those slow by 7% are CDG crowns, thankfully all scrapped leow

newer sonatas are mostly slow by 4.5%

only some older sonatas are slow by 1.5% (best $ for the buck) , but rare and few now

other company taxis , never drive b4 so no comment

let other bros comment

But most importantly, no matter slow by how many % , ai zai wu lang

Bo lang also zai, like some chio bu receptionists/adminstrators in those town offices tiam tiam book me to delivery letters and parcels for them..charge according to meter + tips. Therefore, zai wu lang or bo lang is not that important, most important is meter running, meter slow down can be due to electronic fault or no tunning.

Hello, you jolly well know that govt (LTA) or taxi companies like to do thing that is profitable to them, if you said the cheated meter fares goes into the govt or taxi companies coffer, I might agree with you.

But be logical, what is there to gain for them by manipulating the meters?? do paxs in Singapore thanks them for it? do tourists or foreigner immigrants here thanks them for it?

You are right that as long as taxis are rented out, companies can make money, and govt can get Gst on the rental prices, a win win situation for them, but are they going to care that paxs are paying less and Cabbies are short changed due to meter slow??

In fact, many paxs said our meter run very fast, faster than their heartbeatand when the below smaller one move, their blood pressure also move up, do you know that SIngapore is the only country with 2 meters moving…unique leh.

Paxs paying cabbies more or less, LTA and taxi companies will not give a fark nor a damn, slowing down the meters for them got nothing to gain, it is not going to gain them more money or votes for the next election, the lost or gain in TDs is not going to be their problem, so what for go slow down the meter??? be logic lah, if want, better increase rental and COE of cars or TD income tax or Gst from 7% to 10%, that will have more meat.

Lastly, why worry abt meter slowing, in news, u hear drivers earning 5k, 6k and 7k per month is sup sup water..smlj meter slowing down…chay, want to gather support from TDs is not like this one..first..must open free cannon and buffet, gather some chio bu, then maybe we can talk about supporting you
