Mercabs SG

The fare has been set and implemented.

What's the point of arguing about the fare structure ?

It's not going to get anyone anywhere.

Just get on with it and make the best of it.

well said bro. I think the only reason why someone luan kan is ah wood and ah kang also have to go liao hehehehe

Mercabs SG

Long distance paid more?

Poolman said one?

You tested?

You know a 20km distance,

the fare is how much difference from last time?

60cent...

Yes is 60cent only BOSS!!!!!!

Are you very sure that's it's only 60c more for a 20km distance compare to the old fare ?

Why do I say that ?

Gossip mah, if not, nothing much to chit chat, TD need something to talk about, who dunno the fare is set and go, but just empty talk and arguement to pass days

Mercabs SG

I am not sure if ah pool meter is seriously a snail meter and how Red5xx bro said that it's only 60c more for a 20km distance for this new fare !

But I have proof that for a 12.8km trip from ORQ to AMK Ave 3 cost more now just on the meter trip without the extras on a weekday night after 8pm.

I have also discounted the add 20c for both CDG and Transcab starting fare which is $3.20 against $3.

So how much more ?

It's not a lot for a 12.8km trip.

But I believe it's a good comparision for both pool's trip and Red5xx 20km trip.

Gossip ???

I think it's more of harping on it which nobody can do anything to change it.

So move on.

bowah SG

Yes sir.

Mercabs SG

I have to say this fare adjustment really benefitted the mercs.

With about a 22% increase in the starting fare compare to sonata 7%.

This fare adjustment really benefitted BCL and Komade...........

That's why both dunno why ah pool is making so many noise.....

Poolman SG

I dunno about others , mine old meter jump 385m for $0.20 .

Now 400m for just $0.22 .

Starting fare $3.20 , not $3.90 like some .

I dun make a massive differences for trips under $12 . I am getting lesser from 4pm to 5.59pm .

Any trip from 6pm , any trip that started to $8 , it's about the same like a get a $2.50 call .

1st 10km,

Old meter - 10000/385 = 25.9x0.20 = $5.19

New meter-10000m/400=25x0.22 = $5.5

1st 10km is only $0.31 cent up....

follow every 5km :-

Old meter - 5000/330= 15.15x0.20 = $3.03

New meter- 5000/350=14.2 x 0.22 = $3.1

So you can see, after the 1st 10km, the difference for every 5km there after

is only up 0.07cent........

Poolman SG

Those people must drive one day day shift to taste the difference .

I tried one time 3pm i had enuf .

I dun need to know , seeing those smses sent to me is enuf to come to one conclusion .

Feedbacks to Poolman via PM or sms , so scary until u all dunno .

I dun need to find out , people will tell me .

It's unfair to say day shift enjoy those what media and press said : " Fare Hike" .

It's utterly unfair .

I am giving my opinion base on as a whole , it's peanuts paying for taxi fare from most time during the day .

Night shift huat ? Think of day shifts .

It's not just CDG ..... as a whole .

Poolman SG

1st 10km,

is only up 0.07cent........

Red5xx , u cannot compare some people who started their fare inside CBD , with that $3.90 + 25% hanging on their neck .

$3.90 with 25% .... it's a lot of money .

Red5xx SG

I know, $3.9 solid,

Veri solid.....

I of couse know la, my meter start is $3.9

Poolman SG

But anyway we cannot take views of Merc Cabbies 100% totally and convincingly , they hardly press meter one , what's there to analyse ?

Poolman SG

I know, $3.9 solid,

Veri solid.....

I of couse know la, my meter start is $3.9

I know , u paid same rental like them , u earning lesser by 25% for most trips , and ur trips all on meter , dun compare , compare apple to apple , not apple to MSW .

Poolman SG

And the press and media has to understand , they have to take a cab during the day , and tell readers , this is not a 100% fare hike exercise .

Even at night , for some trips , it's cheaper than calling for a cab .

They have to be fair to both cabbies and readers , stop pointing the wrong directions to people .

It's never a fare hike as far as i am concern .

Hike can be said to sitting inside a Benz ..... one shot $0.70 increase .

That is hike .

Not 100% applicable to normal cabbies , all round , not only red .

Poolman SG

Hike is 330 m and 385m per jump .

Not 400m and 350m ........
