I got a friend from premier says, LTA abolish all charges for all companies. I rem clearly that for Transcab, I am a relief.

Sunday 6.00am to 12 MN is $3 surcharge

Mon - Sat is CBD Surcharge from 5 to 12 pm.

Where can I find the official black n white on this?

It seems a lot of trans cabbies not sure also!?

JLKL SG

mon to sat - 5pm to 11.59pm - $3 city surcharge

sun - 6am to 11.59pm - $3 location surcharge

i think only comfort no sunday surcharge, the rest should have..

i spoke to many drivers from transcab when topping up gas, they duno can colect $3 on sunday..

Yes right , only Comfort and Citycab cannot collect $3 MBS Location surcharge on Sunday .

Why ?

Answer : If Comfort say yes to "$3" , their "$2.50" booking die !!!!

See the logic ?

Still i saw many Comfort drivers "stunt" tourist with $3 !

" Every taxi can collect ."

Answer : Because in Singapore , CBD does not apply on Sunday , so instead we used " Location Surcharge " to apply the $3 .

Our taximeter , on Sunday , cannot press $3 City (CBD) Surcharge , the system's default .

Uncle me too many years in the industry , very careful about taxi surcharge , to protect myself .

Espcially those "sensitive' surcharge like MBS , Expo etc ....

And Holiday surcharge .

Yo ..... surcharge what time start , what time ends , hey , finger tips leh ..... a must leh ....

We have the same fare policy with SMRT .

Take a look , all taxi companies follow this pricing , except Comfort .

Tell your premier friend .

Tell him to do some homework before shooting you with wrong infos .

"1. From 21 February 2011, SMRT Taxis will remove the $3 per trip location surcharge

for trips originating from Marina Bay Sands between 1700 hours and midnight on

Monday to Saturday."

Remove Location Surcharge .

Poolman SG

"2. The removal of the location surcharge is done in response to LTA’s adjustment of the

ERP cordon to include the Marina Bay area as part of the Central Business District."

Meaning Marina Bay area as part of CBD , = can collect $3 City Surcharge

Poolman SG

"3. The $3 per trip location surcharge from 0600 hours to midnight on Sundays and

Public Holidays is still applicable"

Meaning what ?

Ya man , pls tell all your blues kaki , dun go MBS disturb disturb .....

Blocked the taxi way .....

Poolman SG

And also pls inform them , don't try to stunt $3 on anyone .....

Not worth it .... culprit maybe slapped with a $500 minimum fine for overcharging .

Go get $2.50 bookings safer , although need to pay $0.40 levy , still safer than nett $3 .

Got one Comfort driver , thought he picked Indian paxed from India , cos he sent them to Clarke Quay , and whacked $3 .....

Next day .... not only Comfort called him , LTA invited him to drink Kopi at Sin Ming .

No chance ..... $500 fine .

Wah, Heng ah.. until today I still charge $3 fm MBS on sundays, in fact all days' evening. So far, no body call me limkopi or pax said anything leh. why ah?

I always tell them I am a one-week-old taxi dr. Pardon me if I go wrong way... and so on... then they forgot the $3 thing. All happy and call me 'sir' somemore.

I always believe giving them the 'extra miles' when I dr.
