The return trip, I suspected he had taken a mercedes cab..

After their fare adjustment recently, the different for a long distance trip can be as much as $6-$9...

A lot of edmw si kina like to make big hoo-ha on certain topics...

So easy to temper our taxi meter?..

This forumer show a good calculation to prove TS ignorant...

i think someone mentioned if using the "limousine cab" charge, it is closer to the price...

That one is like this...

for 1km $3.90
for the first 10km, every 400m (or part thereof) $0.30
after 10km, every 350m (or part thereof) $0.30
every 45s waiting time (or less) $0.30

so this works out to be
$3.90 (flag down & first 1km) + $6.75 (within first 10km) + $18.60 (rest of the distance)
= $29.25

compare to your receipt of $31.20, which is a difference of $1.95

this amounts to about 5mins of waiting or slow moving time.
which is reasonable if you have some traffic lights.

update:
what i am implying is that either you took a cab that is classified as "limousine cab", or the meter of the cab is mistakenly identified as one.

because even if it was the most expensive of the "normal cab", it can't chalked up that kind of bill.
and even if the cab is travelling slow at 30km/h, for that difference of $8.65, it has to cover 14.5km (29mins)...
then the cab has to cover the remaining 17.2km in 5mins (206km/h???) ... which seems impossible.

Supposing both taxis are normal ones and the meter in the second taxi was indeed faulty. Just faulty, not tempered with.

Is the TD responsible and if LTA finds out, will he be suspended? According to the RTA, TDs are supposed to ensure taximeter in good working condition and display the fare correctly.

When meter jump at 22c per 400/350, it is normal condition

Then the TS self pwned

Once I got a colleague meter was faulty. He knew it, but since he didn't temper with it, he just carry on.

A few pax KPKB about the fares, eventually company call him up to go back immediately to fix it.

He remember he went through some puddles of water and thereafter magic happened.

magic last only about 3 days only
