So if by end of this year, another new higher COEs..another price will come out, so to me, what stated above is LPPL, in a long run, fares will go messy again.

And if it get messy again, then transport minster for state can become for shit.

Basically, to solve such a problem, you need to create a formula, a formula that is simple so that all commuter can know and understand. That formula will act a constant which would satisfy everyone. And even when you need to change, as change is evitatble, just tweat that formula.

HOw to come out with that formula..dun ask me, we got thousands of Scholars both locals and foreigners working and sponsored by govt, with these see collars cannot think, then better go eat shit.

Affirm SG

Time to switch to limo -.-

bowah SG

If can, time to move out of taxi driving.

Terry Young SG

Not to be negative, but this will create more problem instead.

CBD surcharge was created cos the biz at night is in cbd and td all over. So $3 psycho them come in. $2 attract you go in? I don't think so.

Worse from 6-7 when ERP at $2-3, nobody will go in, pax aeroplane you die. So this will create super low supply then.

Airport traveller happy cos supply endless, CBD all cry mother father. RWS etc passenger giddy when they see the fare.

same here, came out just before last fare hike in 2011. Trainer was part of discussions. End of day 80% predictions are correct. Last 20% is cos of last minute lobbying from different quarters vested issues so changed.

Affirm SG

If you cannot find a pax when everyone thinks taxis are expensive, will you go into CBD at 6pm if you are driving a limo? I think i will.

When the airport is full of limosines, queuing time will be extended. Your waiting time become the same waiting time as limosines. I think normal taxis can really hand over keys if they make the fare structure like this.

The difference was already quite big before fare adjustments. Now the difference is like 65% more?

Another plot to rent out more mercedes?

bowah SG

Limo by itself is not a promotion from normal, it is just more comfortable and nicer to drive, on this aspect, it also come with a higher rental fees.

You see, if all of us can afford to pay a rental fees of $170 per day, govt will be telling taxi companies, change all to limos so as to protray a better image for Singapore, just like germany, all mercedes.

And even all can pay a rental of 170,all paxs must also be to foot a $5 flag down rates.

And if limo become the taxis of tomorrow, then it will not be call limo, it will be normal, and that take us to another level of playing field, maybe then, they will introduce bentley or ferrari with a flag down rate of $20
