LTA check on average waiting time on all CBD taxi stands

Yellow Hornet SG

So will that be increase on fare again?? Longer peak-period time??

Poolman SG

Hope so , it'll really works after 8pm .

LTA must first stop Singaporeans waiting for peak hour to stop .

Also LTA must stop taxi drivers from going to eat dinner all at 8pm .

Poolman SG

Now ...... without Marina Sands , Tekka paxes must wait for 1 hour for a cab .

What will happened if Marina Sands start coming mth end ?

Poolman SG

Comfort Delgro , if u are reading this , the pricing u are suggesting currently , it's a total misfit to the demands !!!

U have those datas .

Ur call centre is running like mad dogs dealing with the over over demand of bookings after 8pm just outside the fringe of CBD . U have those datas .

Stop hiding those datas under the blankets !!

CDG and LTA better dun do anything , cos now we are ripping what we can to capitalise on the demands at after 8pm to 12am .

U do something will be good for many , u don't do anything also good for any drivers .

U decide !!!

Poolman SG

Peak hour to remain as current state ?

5 - 12mn ..... isn't taxi a game of cat catch mouse sceanrio ????

5- 7.59pm , cabbies catch commuters , commuters all hide from 7pm to 7.59pm .

8pm , commuters are cats , drivers are mouse . Cabbies cannot to be seen , on-call 5 minute reached !!!!

I dunno ....... to extend the peak hour surcharge , not a bad idea .

CDG and LTA worried about outskirts no demand of taxis after 8pm ?

Anyway , outskirts , without Peak Hours surcharge , also no demands , so fuck it . Implements extension peak hour .

Woodlands after 8pm , got demands meh ?

Yishun after 8pm , got demands meh ? Got la , NTUC trolleys alot .

CCK alot meh ?

BT PJ alot meh demands ?

Bt Batok every demanding meh ?

Datas is , the demands only places near to the heart of CBD .

LTA and CDG , saw that fact ?

It's the fact .

Poolman SG

So what is the best , my opinion ???

Staggered peak hour surcharge .

5 - 7.59 , 35% surcharge

8pm - 9pm - 20%

9pm - 12mn , 30% .......

12mn onwards 50% .

Staggered is shutting out commuters from makibg a suddenly surge for taxis .

Also shut out cabby from making too much decision on " Should i take , or should i wait ? "

Poolman SG

So all flat rate 20% all round from 5 to 12mn .

City surcharge $2 , Marina Sands +$1.

Let taxi drivers decide .

which is lucrative ?

20% alone , or CBD alone + 20% , or CBD + Marina Sands +20% .

No neccessary CBD+Marina Sands+20% is lucrative .

No necessary just 20% alone is less lucrative .

They have their fair share of opinions .

Fuck la those taxi pricing scholars , u need a Primary School grade to teach you how to fix pricing ?

Poolman SG

sorry for the spelling error . Thanks Insg

Poolman SG

Also i dun mind 20-35% peak hour .

As long as it has got that levy .

Times to change .

Change and we see how ?

Poolman SG

Time to solve that ever problematic area , ie fringe of outside CBD after 8pm to 12am .

CDG scholars , u are scholars , u mean ... is that the best u can do ?

If that is what the best u can do .... pls resign , let someone else do it they can do a better job . U people are one reason why Goh Chok Tong wanted more FTs into Singapore !!

Anyway , CDG scholars , we have to thank you , we are smiling cos of your blunders .

It's a blunder la to be honest .

ALN SG

i think 5pm to 10.30pm 20% peak…

cbd $3….

cbd fringe $1.5

ALN SG

actually if you need to call cab daily at 10pm in cbd means fare is cock up liao…

call is for ulu area, not cbd on a daily basis leh…

Sgcabby SG

just spoke to a few 'seniors' working for very long in the customer service dept, from what they told me, i realise what a difficult time they were AND ARE having, both handling the customers, as well as placating the drivers with the 'appropriate' policy.

let me put it this way, the current system we having is borned out of necessary evil. true its evil but true its also necessary. becos if they anyhow tweaked it any other way else, according what they describe to me from their scenario planning, it will almost certainly skewed every other thing else one way or another, soon or eventually.

theres only one last thing remaining we cant figure out. how is MBS gonna price themselves? with or without CBD? and then after that, with or without surcharge?

LTA and CDG , saw that fact ?

It's the fact .

the core of the surcharge must hit on the high demand areas like shenton way , marina, and orchard areas & CBD fringe area..

An all round 20% peak hr surcharge will kill demand in places like HDB towns , ouskirts.dont forget most comfort tio calls to these places. the drivers will die cock stand haha

the bookin fee's gotta adjust la but tell u la comfort up booking , their call levy also up. up to $4 they take $0.70. thats really unjustified, somemore most of the calls are fark shit type.

seems like LTA really having headache on this, let em think once in a while also good. meanwhile i just do my work can liao.

Poolman SG

That time Miss Heng , Head of Department of Operations , ever told me , fare structures not her problem , taxi fare's department .

But she did told me , fare was set base on datas collected from survey done .

I thought it's a joke to base on collected datas .

Yellow Hornet SG

With the rise of COE. More ppl will choose to take taxi then buying a new car. A $45K COE I can take many years of taxi rides and that does not include the body price of the new car

Poolman SG

Ya lor ...

The main evil is those ERPs and taxi rental .

Cos of money , LTA set up CBD boundaries ..... that caused the taxi fare also got boundaries .

Worst is the administrator put CBD and Resort so important , someone else outside this area are going to suffer those agonies of waiting for taxis .

it's up to them .

Me , like TCL , work base on what the fare structures is , the rest of those consequences , they bear , not my problems .
