ComfortDelGro and SMRT Taxis are drawing a largely negative reaction from readers of The Straits Times Online after their recent fare hike announcements, w...

why the 22 ....44 cents all come out?....have the policy makers ever encounter difficulty in giving change at 1 cent.....?

why make things difficult for the taxi drivers with additional task of getting ready daily cents for change.....?

i foresee some good pax would forgo and round up for drivers....but some ngeow ones would not....

why make life difficult, policy makers?

All these policies are decided by people who don't drive cabs.

Haiz.

What price hikes?...all being fooled.

By those elites who make this recommedation.

you on the meter.

New...Morning peak hour...on-board $3.20...25% 0.80cts = total $4.00.

Old calculation peak hour...on-board $3.00...35% $1.05 = total $4.05.

New...Morning peak hour on-call $3.30 +$3.20 +25% 0.80 + $7.30.

Old calculation peak hour on-call.. $3.50 + $3.00 + 35% $1.05 =$7.55.

I would prefer that since Trans Cab is now the 2nd largest taxi company, they should fix their own fare structure. Make known to public that they are more value for money .Objective is to fight with the Blue/Yellow. If their drivers suffer, because of less business and then transcab got more business…drivers will jump ship. In times to come , transcab will have more drivers and more business. Then got money to upgrade toilet and workshop and employ more mechanics.

Now is a good time ….if not, got to wait long long…Look at SMRT ..over the years they achieved nothing..just follow the leader .
Can Transcab take the challenge and make the big guys follow them? It is not always about money. It is about showing your influence on the industry and be the next big brother..

I hope that the fare structure will be different from all taxi companies . Make the fare structure as confusing as possible .Make the passenger confused and they will complain more..create more things to do to the ppl sitting in their air con office .hahahah!!!

Some lan pa so at TransCab told me negotiation going on ... still talking .

Trump card with Mr Teo .

PTC and NTA now have to beg him .

Government play his backside with CNG issues , now pay back time .

But sadly at our expense .

Again , Mr Teo & me share the sentiments , he will have my backing up , 100% of it .

Poolman SG

Again , i emphasis , let's have beliefs in Mr Teo .

I know his style , drivers to him is business partner , not coolie .

He is collecting datas now .

If CDG have to follow MBS surcharge like from those smaller brothers , TransCab have a certain say .

Unlike the conspiracies from the 2 MRT companies .

The key is evening peak hour , not day shift .

Bro do you know that comfuk remove the 10% from 35% peak hour and then shift 10 % into the distance travel. They want their TDs to drive longer hours instead of shorter hours to please the general public. Thats why taxi operators must not follow comfuk. Its gonna be anti-competition in the industry.

benqepson SG

Transcab should not follow main stream. They have to be creative and work together with their TDs. As what they say there is no smoke without fire .

I think if any cab company can brand themselves as cheaper and more efficient than the bigger players, they will win over customers.

Maybe even make more profits from the increased business as people switch to just taking their cabs only.

bowah SG

There is a saying that goes "if you cannot beat them, join them". I will be surprise if cdg buy over transcab

Cannot work lah. CDG fleet too big already. How to siam their taxi. They do like that most of the CDG TDs huat and small amount suffer. In the end the company win cos they increase most of the TDs driver income.

komade SG

eh not really bro actually can go hm earlier..........

cause after 8pm still got the 25% till midnite ..........

Poolman SG

Guys , i tell you what .... in the taxi industry now , every eye is on TransCab now .

Even commuters now are following up with us about our Company's decision , so i told them : " No leh , until further notice ."

Poolman SG

Most paxes on board my cab , local or expats ..... almost everyone ask me about that .

Poolman SG

During 2007 , TransCab still a roookie .

First time they encounter price change .

Then many criticise Trans for following that 35% .

That time i thought Mr Teo learnt a lesson .

Then MBS surcharge ...... TransCab implemented that MBS whole day on Sunday & Public Holiday .

It's a successful and wise move !

So what you reckon this time ?

I guessed it will be something different .

Until many will ......

Poolman SG

TransCab never dilly dally when doing things , very unusual for them this time .

MBS surcharge , they chop chop do it !

Since now they stuck with some 1.8cc Wish , so i guessed they will come out with something refreshing , to lure in some new applicants .

I thought their strategies is very clear .... wait all others to make their decision , then they show hand !

Poolman SG

Now many are sianz working at 5pm .

Here you go .... he will rubber stamp at 5pm .
