If the Taxi fares remain constant... then Pax don't feel the
pinch...
If Taxi fares will to go up & adapt to Chrysler's 30 cents
meter jump, then it will definitely be a turn-off for the pax.
There are discussions by the Taxi companies that there is a
possibility that it may happen (new meter jumps).... only when will
it happen... (the timing must be right so as the consumers can
absorb the hike in fares).
Bus and MRT fares had gone up, rice price had gone up, food price
had gone up. fuel price had gone up, property is still going up
despite all the wo ha about bursting, so is rental, from car to
taxis to house/room rentals, most companies had AI (annual
increment) on average 3 to 5% and above, on national average bonus
(variable payment) is 3 to 4 mths, there is this company i heard
give out 14mths of bonuses, knn, one year no need to work
also can. They got about 20 staffs only. Lean and mean.
Do all these justify a taxi fare increase?
