Harder to book a cab now

last SG · 2011-02-20T15:53:44+00:00

even if i drive taxi, if i am at changi village, i wouldnt go to CACC for customer leh. rather go back psr or tamp. so best choice is go there, relax, wait...

QX179R SG

IT IS now harder to get a cab, even if you are willing to phone-book one - thanks to higher demand triggered by the improved economy, higher tourist arrivals and the draw of the two integrated resorts (IRs), industry watchers and commuters say.

But another reason could be a new scheme that allows some cabbies to reject call-bookings at their discretion.

They should ask me how to curb ?

They can ask me to book a cab for them , easier if u get me to book a cab for you ( 6254-1117)

Poolman SG

Poolman, talking about Lakeview, just to check whether is it operational 24 hrs? Reason being I tried calling this morning sometime between 9.50 am - 10 am, but all I heard was "Starhub is unable to get a response from the subscriber's phone".

Hard to book a cab??? off course lah....once i kenna aeroplane, i will change the scheme.

Some F#%#ing commuter once booking comfirmed, he/she expect cab appear in-fornt of them.

Reached within 3mins also No-Show. Phui

For those commuter who read this post, don't indicate your pick-up point at "main road" "bus-stop" taxi stand" why? Ask yourself lor..

There r time when i take booking, then almoz reach dat place ...... ting ...... CALL CANCELLED.

who can i complain to har??? ......

Now .... i choose 2 set MDT 2 SCHEME B ..... song i take..... mustafa centre ..... hoy, sure reject

Leomanz SG

i totoally agreeded with poolman.

sg taxi booking is DIRT CHEAP.

and .....TOO EASY FOR CUST 2 cancel a oncall oso ..... hp press 2 3 button = cancel call liaoz.

dat means cust can anihow ABUSE d oncall.

Taxi coy shld make a REBATE if cust cancel a booking, or make it AUTO DEDUCT fm their bank acct once they book a call.

in a more serious note , booking fee too cheap .

Of course people complaint la , $2.50 only .....

Or during prime time $3.50 .

Should be $5 nett ...

Poolman SG

That is why now i encourage you people to go for VIP's jobs ...

Save on levy , and minimum NO SHOW cases , NO SHOW also will pay you booking-fee .

U people must protect your customer base .
