Without airport surcharge , will u charge to airport if your MDT
messsage says : " Terminal 1 needs taxis , members nearby can try
."
U will say : Where got time ?
That's why the $3 was implemented .
Will LTA do the surcharge considering they have LImo service
?
Got think of it ?
So what is your opinion... $3 airport surcharges can really
generate more income of the taxi intake of the day, i will
go... but just empty cab chiong to airport, and waiting for your
turn and the time involve, i find it not logical. So that why?
today i never even want to try it.
For example...waiting 30 minutes the Q at airport...with
$3...with 35%...with the fare.
The $3 dollars is just helping you to pay the rental... for the
30 minutes the rental is about $2.12. How this is calculate
using $51 divided into 12 hours, so per hour is $4.25...so 30
minutes is $2.12. Cos taxi rental go by hour, every hours and
minutes count.
This Kind of formula is one of my kaki guru teaching,
Please correct if you think it wrong.
That again , the major diff with day and night shift .
I once link a webpage to indicate the arrival timing of CIA .
Night shift , if the timing is right , plus the surcharges , i
would say 90% near CIA will chiong to Airport , where "Pick&Go"
situation , u will see the diff ...
If airport is on "Pick & Go " situation , without the $3 or
$5 surcharge , no way drivers will charge all the way up CIA .
Again , Airport in trouble .
The main reason the $3 airport surcharge was implemented , was
to lure drivers in . They already saw the problem , then they react
. No problems , they won't react .
