If scare , just remember , go into ERP Gantry , yes got $3 , if u get out of ERP gantry zone , Nothing .

If half past 6 , dunno have or dun have ..... and still dun get help , u better give them free !!!!

If dun have , and u charge them , they complaint you for overcharging ! Serious offense !!!

Demerit points , and summon $300 .

Hi Master Pool,

just to clarify this point:

If scare , just remember , go into ERP Gantry , yes got $3 , if u get out of ERP gantry zone , Nothing .

If you drive under ERP gantry w/o pax, you pay yourself and if got pax inside taxi the pax will have to pay?

the city surcharge is for what time to what time and does not apply to weekend?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

Poolman SG

Sunday ...... except for Airport and Expo , i dun know where i can surcharge customers ?

Sunday basically got nothing ....

That's why on Sunday , Clarke Quay dun have taxi one at around 12am .....

For the same price , why should we go clarke Quay ????

Anyway , i off Sunday , not my problem .,

bro pool...i a bit stupid on this city surcharge part...so when with pax go into city other than erp, pax have to pay $3 fm 5pm all the way to 12am, rt? Is this city surcharge automatic on the taxi meter or we have to press the key?

Poolman SG

always remember , at the point the pax gets onboard your cab .

Not get out of your cab .

Know the meaning at the point they got in your cab ?

Like at Hougang go Suntec ... they pay only ERP .

But if u Q at Suntec , this Suntec pax will pay the City Surcharge $3 , from 5pm to 12am .

Poolman SG

The City Surcharge u must manually key into the taxi meter ....

Press K2 once , K3 once , ok liao .....

Zeemax SG

bro pool, i get it now.

Poolman SG

If outside of CBD no business ......

But sekali ALN sms you , : " Suntec , pick and Go " .

But ERP $2 at that time , then u decide whether to go inside take extra $3 .
So nett u earn only $1 ...

Ok la , $1 better than nothing .

That's why i say LTA knnbccb people , we earn they also must bite a share , damn Yao Gui .

ALN SG

sunday seletar airport also got surcharge… but dun try…. haha

ALN SG

test question…. marina bay casino work site got city surcharge???

fort canning hill got city surcharge???

expo carpark (not main taxi stand) got surcharge??? other expo drive in got surcharge??? haha

definition is if you MUST go through ERP gantry to pick up point, then got surcharge… otherwise no surcharge….

another definition: if near town 8pm to 11pm, u see many pax at taxi stand but no taxi wants to pick them, that means no surcharge…. hahaha

caleb_chiang SG

City charge should only be charged if you are in City ERP zone

Poolman SG

another definition: if near town 8pm to 11pm, u see many pax at taxi stand but no taxi wants to pick them, that means no surcharge…. hahaha

That's true leh ...... hahahahahah lao gui LAN .....

Poolman SG

well....depends , Japanese carrying a map , outside CBD they will also kena $3 CitySurcharge from me . Sometimes if Friday no taxi , they will oso kena Advance booking $5.20 from Uncle POOLIE me ....

So total Tekka to River Valley Liang Court , $6 meter , $3 city charge , $5.20 advance booking , total $14.20 .

Uncle Poolie parang sabre man .......
