Nauseating Taxi Ride



ON JUNE 12, at about 10am, my husband and I booked a CityCab (SH8013T) to the airport. Halfway through the ride, the cabby decided to clean out his ear and nose.

With his right hand on the steering wheel, his left was busy doing the "cleaning". This went on for some 10 minutes, with him flicking the dirt on the floorboard, in front of his seat. Then he ran his fingers all over his head, probably to "clean out" the dandruff on his scalp too.

Cleaning one's body dirt should be done in the privacy of one's home or in the toilet, not in public and in full view of the passenger. The trip left us feeling unpleasant and nauseated.

Luckily, I managed to scramble the exact fare to pay him as I did not wish to receive any change from his hands.

This is not a lone incident. Many a time, at traffic lights, I have seen cabbies using a tweezer to pull out stubble on their chins and cheeks, with passengers in the cab.

The taxi companies should remember that cabbies represent not just the companies but also Singapore. Do they care only about renting out cabs and collecting rentals?

Perhaps they should publish a handbook for cabbies with simple illustrations on social etiquette, and the dos and don'ts when dealing with members of the public and tourists.

Since when is Singapore a FIRST WORLD, WORLD CLASS city?

It is one SPIN after another. Believe at your own perils.

ANY COUNTRY THAT ASKS IT'S OWN CITIZENS TO WELCOME FTs WITH OPEN LEGS CANNOT BE GOVERNED BY A world class govt. Instead of telling FTs they are guests in OUR country; CITIZENS are told to accept the FTs' flaws. KNNBCCB:oIo:

If they cannot find tweezers they usually use two coins...Theresa might want to suggest that all taxi drivers from now on, wear gloves, put on face mask, wear a hat cover their ears...ok! the cleaning of the orifices is unsightly...but this is SINgapore!

alot depends on the pride of the cabbies. In Japan, the cabbie drivers are impeccably well dressed, with caps, jackets, and gloves. Of course, u pay a bomb for the taxi.

even in Taiwan where the cab fare is cheaper than SG, the drivers are well behaved and they even have guidelines in their cabs - displayed for passengers to see - i can rem vividly, no chewing of betel nut, no discussion of politics, follow directions of passenger, listen to the radio station of passengers desire, dress cleanly, etc.

Certain cabs that i take in SG - esp those black cabs (previously private owned ones) - wah lao...got awful stink...a least spray some airfreshener lah...

Stupid woman..

Complaining to the press even over a small matter like this..

I once had hailed an NTUC cab last March.. Told him I wanna go Kranji Turf club since there was a race on that Saturday.. This pot belly taxi uncle, a loveable cheery jolly man.. While driving, hooked up a small chat with him about horse betting, football, and politics.
He was a Workers Party fanatic...Kept on cursing PAP especially Wong Kan Seng. Then he unwinded his window and asked me whether its ok if he lights a ciggie.. I told him go ahead and me and him ended up smoking inside his cab on that 20 min journey to Kranji. After I alighted at Kranji, the taxi uncle wished me luck and reminded me to vote for the Opposition during the GE.

That was one of my most memorable taxi cab journey and to top it off, won quite handomely on the horses that i betted on.

Theresa : Oiii.. i was with my hubby and i have a hubby so don't call me ugly unless my hubby is blind. Yes love is blind.

Bro, its been ages since I took a cab driven by a Keling..

I think it was 14 years back... Remembered this keling taxi uncle because me and my army mates pooled our money to share a cab during book out time. Waited a long time for a cab outside my army camp and suddenly this black cab driven by a Keling stopped..

We then boarded the taxi and I remembered his taxi full incense smell..

Yes bro, you are right... Taxis driven by Keling are rare.. many taxis driven by the Chinese and Malay Uncles..

I'll only take taxis when my wife is using the car or when I'm unable to bring back my company's van home. But at times I'll also take buses or the MRT.
