by left ..... it's consider "classified' again .

Poolman SG

What is the best move to improve on such issue ?

All Singapore's taxis ... all be equip with one single network .

Yes 25,000 taxis all using the same MDT !

Central Controlled by LTA .

Levy goes to LTA for their money spent on one single network .

As for CDG , they can still use their current network , for the existing corporate customers .

Poolman SG

If i were LTA ..... i will use the common hotline , this common hotline , the telephone numbers , will be easy to remember like 6555-5555 .

6-Find find find find find find find , finding the nearest cab .

Now , they will despatch to CDG , but with this facility , they will despatch to , from the smallest to the biggest .

CDG already so busy , of course this people will dial this common hotline have to wait lar .

Correct ?

Poolman SG

Anyway , if LTA dun understand what i am saying , and goes on despatching those calls from common hotline to prioritise biggest company , it doesn't matter to me .

It in fact , benefitted myself .

The more commuters wait , the more they listen to music , the more i will benefit .

The more local got a cab from calling , the more chances i will get .

The more the system cock up , the maximum benefit i will get .

I am slightly in control .

Poolman SG

in short , common hotlines will be best , goes to nearest cab that is available , not base on ranking .

In order to achieve that , a single MDT with a single network or server must be there .

But of course , LTA will protect CDG on this . They will not react to that .

Cos CDG will lose millions of dollar in revenue , and that will not be tally to PAP's business philosphy .

Last time 2 colours and now 8 colours taxi. LTA want to full filled the pax's expectation. Coz 60 % vote for PAP.

Humans are lazy by nature. Pax simply want a taxi like magic but the culture here is not the same as in any other country.

Ah Kong should do research about the TDs here in Singapore. Its not like you can bring snow to Singapore.

The latest revision in taxi fare is a joke . It really does not increase in TD's income. THATS THE FACT.

Ai volunteer mai? We do community services. We few TDs go orchard road there on saturday. All take camera on tripod. Whichever taxi stop got more taxi we take picture. TDs see sure siam sai. Only one saturday we sacrifice. Just to make my point. The whole Orchard road crowd see how they go home. Want play by the book LTA? Try lor. Catch all please!! I dare you man. We see you we sure siam one. We very obedient citizen one. Just one thing. YOU DARE CATCH OR NOT! One Saturday only. BOOK ALL TDs in Orchard road for stopping more than stipulated number of Taxi. I really dare you man. See you suffer or we suffer. I guarantee LTA Monday morning mailbox all jam up with mails from people that cannot go home!

I was wondering isit the script writer, director and actor came from the same person....""Coming Up" was the opening track from Paul McCartney's McCartney II album, written by McCartney and released in 1980. Like the rest of the album, the song had a minimalist synthesized feel to it. It featured lead vocals from McCartney distorted by using vari-speed, and he played all the instruments"

TD take call, ON CALL sign on then pax cancel, TAXI sign come back on, also TD salah,,

We are like punching bags for pax , company and authorities....left right centre (where it hurts most)......

Authorities are also studying how to utilise taxis better.

In the last five years, the number of taxis grew by 20 per cent, but total distance travelled remained the same.

Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew, said: "I have asked LTA to study the feasibility of regulating taxi companies to have a certain minimum availability for their fleets, particularly during peak hours when availability is crucial."

LTA is also studying how to increase the number of dual-shift cabs on the roads.

The study is expected to be completed later this year.

Red5xx SG

Poolman SG
