Passed by Fort Canning Lodge (YWCA) the other night and 2 ladies
flagged my cab.
Once board, I press the meter and the city surcharge.
One of them ask me why I charge $3, since it's not in the CBD. I
told her that it is.
She said that she had already confirmed with her friend who
works in LTA who told her that it is not. She wants to call her
friend and let her speak to me.
I told her no need to pass the phone to anyone, how I know if
she really from LTA. I told her that if that $3 really matters to
her, I can just waive it, but I am very sure that that place is
within the CBD.
She insist on having my contact number saying that if it is
really true, she would refund me the $3 but I say no need to go
through such hassle just for that $3, I won't get rich because of
it.
You guys know how to 100% confirmed it? Every guy who went
through the taxi course would have a road directory with another
big map inside. Look at the map and you will see the CBD boundaries
all in dotted lines. Any place within we can charge, anything
outside cannot. This is taught by our instructors.
I know about it, but honestly, when she mention her friend from
LTA. I abit "chua" cos I not 100% confirm, only about 95%, so just
in case, better not to have embarassment. But later she go off, I
check the map. knn#$%^&&*.
This CB still say cos she Christian, she dun want to cheat
ppl.
Yes, Fort Canning Lodge belongs to CBD boundary as in LTA CBD
map, I previously not aware until you said and I checked.
pls note tat half of mackenzie rd is inside cbd... half of is
outside...
Under LTA, the Cbd boundary for Mackenzie rd is until the
entrance door of Used Car Company. It does not effect Niven road
passing thru Wilkie Rd.
