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...

FT SG

i think people now expect to stand out on any street and have 4 empty cabs passing by them and they just flag the first one.

Not at shenton way bro...hahahaha....

This morning during peak hrs about 9.05am. this lady call booking a cab, i bid for it, next booking cancel than less than a minute booking again from the same lady same location.You dare to take? Surely aeroplane.

Cash Lee SG

Why not the LTA come out with this policies.

1. Up flag fares

2. All call booker should have a account with Taxi Company.

3.Wavie off booking sur-charge for those who book and take the assign cab.

4. Those who call booking but didnt take the cab assign to them will have some amount deduct from their account.

Like that fair to commuter's and TD's mah. Commuter's can't wait can flag taxi while waiting for the assigned cab to come mah.

TD's feeling tired can hide under shade and smoking, commuter won't have mis-understanding about td waiting for calls.

PS: I talk talk only, dont bombard me OK?

Ya she don't own me so u think i own her? Last few days jusk f 1 ah nei for asking me to park at bus stop so he can go fetch her daughter on peak hours, knn only think for himself to save $1 for not going to the carpark so what u call this? Did he care for us taxi driver what if we get fine for mis use of bus stop? U still want me to think for him?

I don't see the need to f someone over this. Just tell him your difficulties. Benefit of the doubt, he may not have done it on purpose. Unless you don't wish to give that benefit.

Rock^Star SG

aiya i saw my taxi there...SO WHAT...???

Why don't u suggest to LTA to remove all call for a taxi board at taxi stand, ask LTA not to let taxi company take call booking? U know how to say 'she's' just trying to maximising their dollars, halo we taxi drive also just trying to maximising our income.

Cool it man :) I would think Cash Lee's suggestions make sense.

Rock^Star SG

Insurance agent's income as be as much as 10 to 15k per mth , TD's income is peanuts compared to theirs.

Why dont u use the above as a comparison instead?

Many agents out there earn peanuts too.

Poolman SG

Many agents out there earn peanuts too.

Not so pathetic la peanuts .

don't day-dream la bro ....

Poolman SG

I tell you what bro .... this is what happened .

This lady actually are waiting for a cab on the street .

Each phone are entitle to one cab at one time .

If one phone is confirmed a taxi , she has to cancell current taxi to proceed to book another .

It could be this lady tried to book for another cab knowing you are on the way .

It could be this lady pity some old auntie who is in a rush to go somewhere , also waiting for a cab , so she chose to cancell current jon and proceed to book another .

Again , knowing u are on the way .

Poolman SG

So LTA's central booking system failed ?

So Hotel's special booking pass also failed ?

Those authority must know why Singapore always got such problems .

Once and for all , $5 flag down , move some part of commuters to take trains or buses .

Or $8 flag , take out all surcharges .

When flag down $8 , book a cab for what ?

Everywhere taxis !

Poolman SG

Why taxis always commuters' choices ?

And always their choices when in a rush ?

And they were complaining about the cost of living ?

Why 5pm onwards , inside cbd , taxi long long Q , unless rain ?

And why MRT squeeze like sardines during peak hours ?

And why MRT stations after 8pm , taxis out of sudden disappeared ?

It can be in the gap of just 5mins , u can see long Q of taxis @ 7.55pm at MRT taxi stand , and 8pm , it became long Q of human Qs , and taxi disappeared ?

Poolman SG

And it's a shame when at 8pm , u can see commuters walked slowly from Wisma Atria to Q at Ion Orchards instead , where taxis are Q-ing at wisma Atria .

Why ?

Poolman SG

Taxi fare must be , at the very first place , standardised all round the clock .

Standardised everywhere the same .

And fare must also standardised all round 365 days .

Why wasn't Sunday has got similiar surcharge ?

Taxi driver's Sunday rental wasn't 50% off !!!

As for CBD surcharge , standardised ERP rate for taxis at $2 , and CBD surcharge @ $2 .

If my ERP is $3 , i can't be possibly getting back only $2 !!!
