Passengers still having hard time getting cabs in CBD areas

SINGAPORE: Commuters said they have not noticed an increased number of cabs in the Central Business District (CBD), despite the hike in city surcharge.

ComfortDelGro has raised the surcharge from S$1 to S$3 to encourage more taxi drivers to enter the city and CBD areas.

Many passengers said the higher fares do not deter them from taking cabs as it is a more convenient means of transport, especially on rainy days.

A sea of red signs greeted many passengers in the CBD during the evening peak hours on Monday. Many of the cabs were either on call, changing shifts or occupied.

ComfortDelGro is the first taxi operator to start its fare increase.

But passengers pointed out that they could not simply pick and choose the cabs which belong to companies that had not started the fare hike, especially when ComfortDelGro is the largest operator of taxis in Singapore. CNA/so
