☃® SG

i call a few times then can get booking lor, after one hour of calling. i think they also dun take bookings ard city area one, just wait for midnight to come then all the taxis magically appear. last time still show wat pity face taxi driver on tv say no businees, is all bluff pple one, so rich can afford dun do business and be picky.

Poignant SG

missing? or they going too fast you cant see?

taxis turn evo at night you know?

Poolman SG

May i know which area u need a cab ?

Maybe i can enlighten the main reason .

Now u dunno the reason , wrongly accuse also no good .

Poolman SG

If booking extra $3.50 .... midnight only $1.50 extra , which one is good deal ?

Hello Kitty SG

dun hv means dun hv.

attemptin to gib reasons oso no use one.

coz one, two, three or a handful of cabbies canot represent the whole force.

Poolman SG

If TS has been calling a cab just Outside CBD , eg Gateway Towers @ Beach Road , she will have problems .

Let me explain .

Booking charge $3.50 fr 5pm to 10.59pm

Booking charge $2.50 fr 11pm to 6.59am

CBD City surcharge $3 from 5pm - 12am

If i am that driver .......

Inside CBD , many ready pax , meaning $3 extra neat neat , nett $3 extra .

If call came in , $2.50 , give company back $50 , nett $2 extra .

Which one u'll chose ?? $3 or $2 extra ???

Now TS problem lies here .

Her $2 extra not powerful enuf .

The $3 CBD City Surcharge by all means , POWERFUL than booking !!!

Poolman SG

I will help TS how to get a cab easier if the TS tell me which is her location .

Poolman SG

The accusations it's cabby waiting for midnight .

Now no more la ....

Now taxi waiting for pax liao . Long Q of taxis .

Since the CBD $3 surcharge step in @ 2007

Poolman SG

I am so sure TS's location was outside of CBD ....

And i will advise her to move into CBD to get a cab if possible , after 11pm .

If can walk abit rather than wait .

It's not our fault ....

It's the taxi company who set the fare until the situation like that .

if 6552-1111 cannot get thru ... don't insist .

Dial 6555-3333 TransCab also can .

If dun like Red Wish , can opt for SMRT 6555-8888 ?

If dun like SMRT , Prime can ?

What about Smart ?

Or SilverCab ?

Flexible ma .....

Hello Kitty SG

sollie bt ur expraination no help at all.

ts' complaint is still valid.

implement dis & dat oso no use one.

best to do away wif all surcharges.

see still can scheme anot.

Poolman SG

Kitty , not our fault really ....

Only one solution that will solve this problem ...readjust the booking fee to $3.50 from $2.50 from 11pm to 12am .

Currently $2.50 .

Now cbd city surcharge $3 nett nett extra .

if booking fee $3.50 , minus give company $0.50 , nett nett $3.00 extra .

This will be powerful enough .

It's a matter of taxi driving principle .

Who pay me more , i'll take who .

Now CBD paxes paying more .... if booking fee changed , it's first come first serve basis .

Poolman SG

Like SGp Expo and Aiport .....

Sgp Expo $2 , Airport $3 ....

Sorry Sgp Expo , airport paxes more imprtant .

Hello Kitty SG

acherly, i dun care hw much.

all my life, me taking cab.

change until i dun care liao.

show hw much, i juz pay.

i juz dulan canot get cab.

got once i was so dulan.

i called the emergency line.

the one wif $10 bookin fee.

Poolman SG

Actually , no need spent $10 for a booking ....

My colleague at cabby.sgforums.com will take your call if u need .

Just sms me .

I will direct those sms to all my colleague , and give us 15 minutes , i think many of my colleague will be there for you .

Most guys i worked with work from 5pm to morning .

So no problems .

Day i will have problems .
