Got once, morning peak, I sent a pax to Clementi MRT...
As usual, expecting pick mango later on...
About to reach the station, wow, "human mountain, human
sea"....
But.....2 traffic police park their motor bike 1 infront taxi
stand and 1 before taxi stand....
Not difficult to notice, they actually are catching those
private buses, illegally stopping....
But many "green lattern" when see them, like see "gui" like
that, rather forgo the fare....
Many TD tio until scare, $50 fine is hard earn money you know,
especially for day drivers, the authority tends to be more
strict....
That's TD mentality, I can understand that from a TD perspective,
but you hv to right to move in, it is no more a Q but rather a pick
and go, now if you were to pick someone out of the taxis stand,
that will be an offence. You can get TP booking, paxs at stand
complaining about you, and other in the stand may do the same way
which ultimately, will create a chaos.
I believe that TP are there also to see if any illegal pick up
by taxis just out of the TS, and ensure that paxs wait for their
taxis at the taxis stand.
As I said again, it is all a mental block, most of us using road
as a livinghood tends to be wary of TP, that can be understandable.
And with it, most of us lost our logicial thinking.
