LTA ought to be spank on its backside, talk but no action. It is
not only the taxi drivers that is giving trouble, the passengers
are as problematic too. Before warning the drivers, LTA should
first educate the public, put up poster everywhere to teach the
public proper way to engage the service of a taxi.
Stupid LTA should tell the public that
1. No flagging of taxi at broken white and yellow lines and
broken double yellow lines
2. No flagging of taxi at bus lane during peak hours
3. Do not flag taxi at busstop at all time
4. Do not flag taxi at junction and yellowbox
5. Do not flag taxi at or near zebra crossing
6. Do not flag taxi within 100 meters of the taxi sand
everyday, taxi drivers have to face these nonsense from
passengers, do you agree LTA should be spanked for not educating
the public clear enough?
Ah Li, if pax flag at bus stop, are they going to get fine? if
they flag near zebra crossing are they going to get fined??
How about raining days?
Human nature works in a way of carrot and cane, with there is no
cane, nobody will give a damn. As a pax looking for a taxis, I paid
a much higher price, ask me to stand here and there?? If the taxis
can stop infront of me and willing to stop, why should I go 100
metre away from bus stop??
LTA will turn around and said, you taxi drivers are feeding the
carrot, who to blame? u stop at zebra crossing to pick up pax, you
are wrong, can take $$ from you with demerit points too. Pax? how
to fine them, there is simply no cane.
And for TD, one flag near bus stop, you dun stop, someone will
stop for them?
If you are doing sweeping and apply the above strict discipline
rules..I think can OBK
