Diesel Price

ALN SG

I heard the smaller taxi companies now charges lower diesel price than comfort??? Any cabby can confirm this?

Silvercab now charges $0.99/ltr
Transcab charges $0.95/ltr
Comfort charges $1.00/ltr

I will still stick with ComfortDelGro because of its 17 diesel kiosks island-wide, acceptance of major credit cards, CabCharge, e-voucher and NETS and also the CabLink MDT.

ALN SG

yes, more pump station is big advantage.

SMRT pump is geylang and somewhere i cant remember
Silver is hoy fatt and i think Toh tuck (not 24hr)
Trans is defu (houg)

So that’s why houg got many red cabs loh

Comfort rental is higher than most companies esp if you consider the higher rent free days of other co.

Comfort main advantages used to be cheaper diesel and calls, and payment mode.

So as a relief who dont enjoy rental free days, if the rental charged by hirer to relief is the same for different co, comfort is always better…

North, East, South, West all the kiosks are there to serve you.

You are right...yes, more pump station is big advantage.

ALN SG

So cheap... Look out for more diesel passenger cars coming to our shores soon...

VW will be the first maker to bring in Euro IV diesel passenger vechicle into Singapore, Toureg R50 and Polo Bluemotion.

lianamaster SG

Ooh lala...I think they will be expensive...

The diesel we bought is at 60 cents now is the same grade as the low sulphur diesel at the station , how can comfort 40 cent profit from the poor cabby . this is too much and they claim it is subsided !! They already make enough from the rental still want to squeeze money from the diesel sale

ALN SG

sean, u work where? how come u know abt the cost of diesel? but as u said, 40 cent profit is too much to squeeze from cabbies liao…

haiz.. but what to do? there is no cheaper alternative…

ALN SG

wow moh, attracted such interests with your news on cheaper diesel liao….

yo relief, lor halus is at the TPE-KPE junction… me never try before… if you go, please share whether good or not hor?

so compared to comfort $0.95, it is 0.15 cheaper… assuming u drive like a bull 40 litre a day… that will save u $6 a day… worth to check it out… esp those staying near sengkang/ pasir ris
