18$ for a taxi fare for short trip.It's a daylight robbery!

Cupidnine SG

i'm not surprised.

1. peak hour.
2. if go by commonwealth ave west/clementi rd jam.
3. if go by jurong town hall then AYE jam.

if u say it's S$13, 135% of metered fare is $17.55. i'm sure u missed some few cents for the "$13".

PS. : for singapore currency, the dollar sign appears infront of the amount.

yes, you are right. Calculation is correct. but what i mean is the system of the taxi fare is not fair for us.eeek!

erm. to me, you just need to be better-informed that's all.

lianamaster SG

Metal Eleven SG

Don’t do it if you can’t afford it.

FirePig SG

35% surcharge for peak period.

188 from IMM goes to NUS and it only charges under $2.

Poolman SG

Better ask yourself what time u got onboard the cab and the time u alighted the cab ....

I mean before u lodge a complaint and ask the cabby go jiak sai , or else the person go jiak sai is yourself u know .

Ok if the time get on board is 7am to 9.30am .... the peak hour surcharges was certainly justifiable .

U certainly no lying about the meter is $13.00 , but that was before u total up the tariff !

The tariff is on the right bottom , the small figure ... after the taxi stopped , the driver will total up everything ..... $13 meter , $5+ peak hour charge ... justifiable ma .

This is definitely no DAY LIGHT ROBBERY !!

Above link is for Comfort and Citycab taxi fare ....

Every 45 seconds of waiting or less
$0.20

Traffic jam .... the price for the jam .

Poolman SG

Smart cabby certainly won't conned you for $18 .... time is money for the time .

They can earn more if not for the jam . Considering they earned average $30 per hour during prime time if got paxs .

They don't deserve to be quoted as " Day light robbery " .

Unless u have a million dollars and they robbed u off ! Anything lesser than that ? Definitely no ... not even deserve any criticism to go jiak sai like some kampong sua ku has earlier suggested .

there's a small surcharge thingy @ the bottom.

the total fare should show $18.

clementi is always jammed in the mornings

Yes... absolute rite.

children pls note the above like wat Kenn3th written, this are human talks and talks with sense.

children be more mature... just only that little two pieces of red Singapore notes each valued at ten dollar... you think cabby just need to hired a taxi from the taxi company and come around to hijack just twenty dollars...as you say...In our country we pay depending on the destination, not by time. So like that - even short trip we must pay a lot if the driver drives very slowly and stops some more at traffic....this make me laugh more what kind of knowledges...and somemore to NUS... hope you are not going there to gain your knowledge from the lecturers or the professors times, if not is a waste...for what you are going there....think! with just so simple kind of things you also don't know how to iron-up. yo.

Taxi fares should be reduced now. The reasons given last year were all invalid now that oil prices have decreased significantly; the bad economic outlook which will take years to recover; increase in no. of jobless people; earning of taxi drivers is down that some have even requests that the fares be reduced; etc.
We, taxi passengers are the worse hit as we have to cater for the needs of three groups: 1 Govt for revenue through taxes; 2 Taxi companies for money to operate the taxis; & 3 Taxi drivers for income.

I took a cab from IMM(Jurong East) to NUS(clementi) at about 8 o'clock in the morning. It took me so long due to the traffic jam and the cabby asked me 18 $ even though the meter showed 13 $ only. He said additional $5 was charged for 'peak hour'. OOPS!

In our country we pay depending on the destination, not by time. So like that - even short trip we must pay a lot if the driver drives very slowly and stops some more at traffic.

no money don't take cab

don't whine

there is bus

scared late? wake up early

can't wake up early? sleep early

can't do any of the above?

go back your country

mrsmall SG

now ppl also smart

we can see from the taxi stands

peak hour alot taxis waiting for passengers at taxi stand

nobody take taxis - taxi drivers frustrated

then after peak hours almost many taxis hide in the small lanes

wait let ppl to call for to return their frustrated feelings to passengers

day to day problems

In other countries - taxi is always breeze

we need to proud as a singaporean
