Mr Chua , let me clarify with u on this , we are fast cos it's better we alight u fast , and "connect" another customer fast ...... Meter jumps according to...

Poolman SG

Yes , but got $0.30 extra administration charge if wanna pay by NETS on taxi fare ....... starting from next month ( November ) .

Only on Comfort , Yellow-Top & CityCab taxis , but not all Comfort , Yellow-Top and CityCab ....... not until next year .

Poolman SG

Cash !........Cold hard cash is the best !

theres a 30cents surcharge for using NETS!

only 500 cabs are installed with the NETS terminal, but all comfortdelgro cabs will be equipped by 2007..

like that next time customenrs no more excuses like no more cash, no small change etc Razz

technoboy SG

Yay! It's gonna be more convenient expecially when midnight and don't have to go to the nearest ATM before taking a cab... Mr. Green

FireIce SG

wat about ezlink card?

CoolMyth SG

If people pay by NETS, then how do you claim back the fare? Ain't taxi drivers almost "self-employed"? Laughing

Just curious.

<Precious> SG

EZ Link card can fly kite lor............... Rolling Eyes

Poolman SG

As i've said , cash ....cold hard cash is the best , but ........ payment by NETS , cabby should be able to get the payment by the next working day .

I think ........ still think ....cash will still be the most popular payment , NETS is just another 2nd option .

Poolman SG

Still in the process ...... might roll-in as well next year .

Negotiation is still on on whether who will foot the bill of installing the equipment , as EZ Link is solely owned by LTA , equipment can be costing as much as millions of dollars .

Of course SMRT and ComfortDelgro has got the advantage , but what about the rest ?

Volvo Olympian SG

If EZLink is install on the taxis , i think most of the students will take taxis instead Mr. Green

monoslayer SG

great! i rather pay the $0.30 surcharge den pay the 10% for paying by CC. Mad Mad

^tamago^ SG

maybe they might decide to wait for e-symphony card, the 2nd generation ez-link card....

monoslayer SG

can we use tis too?

Laughing

Ito_^ SG

hai lor...

Neutral finally gt nets.

Poolman SG

I really have doubts about the security of using NETS in taxis .... if those people can slot a card-scanner at ATM ........ those syndicate can really gang up taxi drivers to strike such things again ....

Of course there are measures , but how far the measures can stretch ?

saline SG

taking a cab is getting more and more expensive. use nets also need to pay more $$. sigh~~
