Taxi rides getting more expensive

a-Lost-9uY SG

For me , it's not the demand of taxis that killed us , it's the rising cost of diesel killing us slowly, i really dunno if i can cope , if our diesel does up to $2 / litre or more

Currrently , i paid $1.23 / L , which i paid about $37 for every $300km , my earning is about from nett $100 to nett $80 , a $20 more compared to previously .

That is $1.23 per litre .

If $2 / litre ... i am going to pay $60 for 300 km .

i once talked to a cabby..

tat there are particular petrol stations tat allowed cabbies to top-up petrol..

but the diff. in cost between those Shell etc..

is very small only..

truth?

medium category car maybe, doesent work out if u get a already very depreciated car, and when u sell it, not worth at all

U r not comparing apple with apple.

Owning a car and taking taxi are two (2) different issues altogether.

Owning a car has liablities compare to taking a cab.

See the differences now?

Please compare apple wif applw and orange wif orange.

Poolman,

The rising cost of diesel is NOT killing you alone. It also kills non drivers let alone car owners.

Singapore is the only place in the world with highest in everything, highest cost of petrol and diesel in the world compare to developed countries and not 3rd world.

It cost me more than $30 to travel from Changi Airport to my house (at northern part of Singapore) during peak hour.

The subcharge for peak hour is a killer!

As a citizen, i agree roads should be smoother, but there should be much more trains even if it means making loss for SMRT… our govt want to have everything… profit and smoothness… only until recently they realised that is impossible and forced smrt to add trains…

As a cabby, i find driving increasingly difficult… higher diesel, higher ERP and eventually less pax… I dun think I can do much to adjust except to earn less …so what do i do? i tell myself to just drive happily and if not happy dun drive… me only part time so i can.. but full time cabby i dont know how… maybe poolman can tell you…

Don't worry, seem like poolman coping very well (from his comment).

But if the gov going to start extending ERP gantries outside CBD also (which is very likely), then the fare going to get even more expensive.

A Hard Day’s Night ERP.. CBD.
It’s been a hard day’s night, and I been driving Taxi like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, why should be worry ERP or CBD.
But when I get home to you I’ll find money the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you taxi money to buy you things
And it’s worth it just to hear you say you’re going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, ‘cause when I drive taxi
You know I feel ok ERP or CBD

When I’m home money everything seems to be right
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight

Owww!

So why on earth should I moan, ‘cause when I drive taxi
You know I feel ok ERP or CBD

When I’m home money everything seems to be right
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I been driving Taxi like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, Why should be worry ERP or CBD
But when I get home to you I’ll find the things that you do

You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright…
