Amazing.. even now, with more than 15,000 active taxis, ppl will
always swear that they will never be able to flag down one at peak
hours.
And the famous point that many cabbies like to hide somewhere
hoping for bookings ($).
Taxis wait for people, very true nowadays.. look at the long cabby
queues with no people queuing at many places. Many cabs, fewer
passengers.. cabbies are working harder..
Anyway, big fish are fried usually at City, Shenton Way, Festive
areas such as chinatown, Changi Airport, Private housing estates.
Some drivers dont like to go to heartland MRT stations as the trips
are usually a short one..
And not to forget, LRT, buses, Night Buses, express buses are
slowly taking over what was seen as a taxi-dominance sectors like
the airport..
Once saw a cab u-turn to pick up a customer opposite, but at the
traffic light, another cab turns out and got the customer, the
cabby angry and horned the rival cab..
