Well, we, sg TD can be the one of the best taxis
driver, then how about sg paxs, are paxs in singapore rated nos 2
or 1 in this world?
Tripadvisor are tourism agent, they are like the middle men
doing booking tours and hotels for their clients, so even if
they truly do a empirical survey, which I doubt they really did it,
it will be more on tourists feedback.
Tourists in a way are happy lots, I mean whoever go tour sure to
have a good enjoying feeling, even our chief go genting also very
happy. And that give you an inaccurate assessment of the survey
whereby moods are concern, and secondly, whererby focus is concern,
tripadvisor only focus on one kind of peoples.
Taxis services include a wide range of aspect, not only on the
driver, the easy access to taxi, the time factor, the taxis
condition, the fares, the road condition, the Q system at AP,
services at hotels, safety and languages. It is of good that most
of us are bilingual, some even trilingual.
You go places like thailand, you have to buy/take voucher to Q
at a irregular Q to get a cab, then the cab is altis, it like a
pasar malam there, lots of whistles and illegal touting, you talk
to them, driver do not understand, road jam, irregular and dirty
condition. Therefore as a tourist, you judge the taxis services on
a holistic approach, not just base on the driver.
From the time a tourist landed in singapore, the airport already
give them a good impression, follow by good signages and good Q
system, no body will be touting them, you are pleasantly guide to
take a cab, and once on cab, you can speak english or chinese or
malayu or even some local dialects, most are no problem, and that
is why we can alway chat up with a tourist anytime as long as
english is there.
Nevertheless, if this survey can motivate us as TD and give a
slap on those who said our services is the worst in the world, I
vote for it.
