There should be no surcharge if they just adjust the metre upwards to $5 and jumps of 30 cts & 40 cts.

This is the fairest way to address the current problems right now.

AP will not go , Booking will not go. These 2 surcharges if they remove will cause massive problems.

If it is a uniform fare system , u go everywhere its the same , dont have to cheong empty to CBD just for the $3 or $6.50 carrot (can be very tiring at times).

Look at the day drivers , they dont have any surcharges , they just go purely on $3 flag down , even the booking of $2.50 is half fucked standard. how come they can huat?

Uniform fare system will make TDs less choosy , just whack & go , saves a lot of time . The time saved actually would translate into profit & less stress.

Meter waiting time to re adjust to 30secs or less, too many traffic conjestion nowadays. Not because of the Christmas season but too many cars on the road liao.

If no peak hour surcharge , i take my time go work ... relak only . What 5pm sharp ? Relak only .

If city no cbd surcharge ... me huat liao .... big huat surely inside cbd . ( classified )

If AP no surcharge , who the fuck would wanna to spent their own fuel and chiong to AP , siao ar ?

Like now , Tenah Merah no surcharge , once AP pick n go , Expo got exhibition , along with Changi South , they siao liao ....

If all surcharge scrap , i'll throw my key back to TransCab .

Same rental , take ages to get the rental , i'll let them stuck one more cab in the backyard .

Good luck to them .

Free than i drive taxi , not important .

I'll go to Philipines holiday ....

My ger today told me a spokesman from one of the taxi cos already hinted that a fare revision is on the cards . Not sure if it came out in the papers or on TV. Reason : Higher COE & Diesel prices. Nothing was mentioned about pax complains though.

Once someone from a taxi co say something like that , means its coming.

I welcome a fare revision with open arms.

I dunno about u guys.

Poolman SG

U vote for us , u mandate us , this is what u deserve .

A raise in fare .

Best is no surcharge, fairer to commuters.

$4 flag fee would be good. 30 cents jump per 0.25km.

But midnight surcharge, i think is a must have. If not nobody wants to drive night shift.
And also ERP charges, this one cannot hide.

Peak hour surcharge not really. It just create problems for those who want a taxi and the taxis go to selected places.

DailyFreeGames.com SG

if no surcharge, everyone will take taxi. then always on call. if on call also no surcharge, i tell you, cab companies dun dare to open call center to take calls, sure employ people until siao.

Poolman SG

$4 flag fee would be good. 30 cents jump per 0.25km.

$5 will be ideal .

I also dun mind $0.20 jump .

But hor , if like that , if i am at Simei , Airport ? Where got time ?

Then tourist no taxis , then surcharge again , to make taxi go up AP .

If i am at Clementi after CNG , i will Q at MRT lor ... all go West Coast , Clementi Ave 1 , Jalan Lempeng and Sunset Way , cbd ? Where got time ?

Waste my CNG for the same price .

Then CBD no taxis , CBD surcharge again ....

ALN SG

huh?

why TCL want fare hike??!

Poolman SG

If like 7pm , ERP into CBD $3 ......

Then the commuters better don't wait for me , i won't go in .

Flag down $5 , ERP $3 , nett $2 profit , hmm ....u think i charity man ?

Unless ERP for CBD gantry strictly $0 for taxis , then i can consider , if not , where got time ?

I'll Q at Newton MRT .

ALN SG

fare hike will scare off pax for at least 3 weeks….

then parang anyhow fly liao…

and ALN throw key go hiding 3 weeks… haha

Poolman SG

If ERP $3 when 7pm , and commuters has got no problems , and cabbies still will go in , i salute those cabbies .

Not for me , i do my math , i dunno how to work like that ?

Poolman SG

I think Singapore public transport , be it like MRT , Buses or taxis , seemed to be a big problem .

So what's the best solution , bus , mrt and taxi companies , all seperated , cannot be one company .

A conflict of interest .

Bus os bus .

MRT is MRT .

Taxi is Taxi .

Bus company wannt protect his bus interest , mrt companies want to protect it's mrt business .....

At the expense of the taxi drivers , and now what ?

Cock up big time lor ...
