kitty you are always welcome here cheers

Poolman SG

If u are those commuters , still in the dark , never understand why u couldn't get a cab after 8pm , at this listed location .

Pls take note this main reason .

U are too near CBD ! CBD paxes , lots of them , paying an extra $3 tariff to get a cab .

1.Far East Plaza

2.Hyatt Hotel

3.Liat Tower

4.Orchard Tower

5.Shaw Centre

6.Tanglin Mall

7.Orchard Parade Hotel

8.Royal Plaza on Scotts

9 Shangri La

10 . Newton Circus

11 . Tan Tock Seng Hospital

12 . SGH

13 KK Hospital

Poolman SG

Any tricks to counter this problem ?

It's all on your watch ?

Try taking a cab at 7.55pm , i would say 90% of drivers would want that 5 minutes peak hour surcharge .

Poolman SG

If u are are around the listed locations , pls .............. dun wait til 8pm , u will be very disappointed .

7.55pm , u can see 10 taxis .

8.00pm , u can see 0 taxi .

All of a sudden .

Poolman SG

If u are frustrated , waited 20 minutes still no taxis after 8pm .

Pls call 6552-1111 if u are heading to below listed destination .

1. Woodlands

2 Yishun

3. Sembawang

4. Teck Whye

5. CCK

6. Bt Panjang

7. Punggol

8. Sengkang

9. Hougang

10. Serangoon .

U have got a higher chance of getting a Comfort Cab than other cabs .

Cos the drivers do not know where u heading .

Oher companies know .

And most who know , will reject this places listed above .

Hello Kitty SG

me will call.

me no bother.

my time is $$$.

Poolman SG

Another alternatives , pls walk into CBD zone .

100% will get a cab .

Poolman SG

Be a clever commuter .

In times u see CHANGING SHIFT taxis , pls use

to signal u agree on heading to that direction , and .....

to signal it's not where u are heading .

User friendly .

He SG

U take those at St James and Vivocity? :P

Poolman SG

Commuters must remembe , Singapore Taxi fare is too ridiculously low .

Normal flag down during rush period , u must be prepare to wait for one .

Supply and demand .

It's commuter's that created the scenario .

Singapore economy getting better , pls prepare to wait longer for cheap taxis .

Many many people willing to pay more for fast cabs .

Poolman SG

me will call.

me no bother.

my time is $$$.

This is a clear example of a very clever commuter , call for a cab if needed .

For just $3.50 .

U save 1 hour or more .

Why not ?

Poolman SG

Vivo and Harbourfront ?

A location , sandwich between 2 piece of area , which the commuters willing to pay taxi drivers $3 extra to pick them up .

One is RWS

The other is CBD .

Dun blame cabbies .

It's Public TransPort Council who decide on those fare structures .

They decide on those surcharges .

If not happy , complaint to them .

And attach this forum , and forward to them .

And tell them Uncle Poolman say one .

Poolman SG

commuters , any question to me , i can help u find solution ?
