SINGAPORE : The recent heavy afternoon downpours may be creating woes for commuters but one cab company is certainly singing in the rain.

ComfortDelGro's group of taxi companies, which include Comfort, CitiCab and Yellow-Top, saw a record number of 75,000 call bookings made in a single day.

This was on January 12, one of the wettest days so far this year.

The weatherman says Singapore will continue to have heavy rain in the afternoons over the next few days. - CNA /ct

Oh .... maybe it's like that , whenever they call Comfort , " No taxi" , that's why they switched to call CityCab and the rest , that's why the jump in bookings .

I'm not being arrogant about taxi bookings , although Comfort has got a $4.00 booking tag sometimes of the day , they are still the prefered taxi company by commuters .

Those SMRT la , Silver la , TransCab la , Samrt la , they perform like a back-up for Comfort , most commuters call them only when they can't get a Comfort .

One obvious reason , commuters never disappointed booking a comfort cab , generally , within 5 minutes the cab will be there .
