[sta1100]

so call those fees are not help the cab driver, it only helping the company to have more $$$ for their shareholder.

at $1k a month, spend abit more on gas and parking you call the shot

How many times have we been through this same exercise everytime the PAP is returned to power

Making plans to purchase a car is premature because I doubt the PAP is done announcing ALL the prices increases yet.
For some there are other priorities to getting a car e.g. paying rent/mortgage, food, etc

[sleaguepunter]

if really $1K per mth on cab, then get a class 2b lah.

one year cab fare already can full paid for new yamaha 125.

 

[fukyuman]

Talk cock sing song. Suka suka can get class 2B license meh? It takes some people 3 years and could not get the license. Besides, you want to be a roadkill when everyday is skidding wet?

[KNNBCCB]

Don't complain about the cab fares if you are simply too lazy to wake up earlier and take the bus or MRT. Duh!

Stupid SG mentality.

[NoNewsGood]

This is just a prelude for the cab company to raise the taxi rental.

By then, the cab driver cannot complain because their fares already raised.

Some folks just want to be driven around.

 

[Received_by_Kings]

Precisely folks, these companies are just too much.

And if they still refuse to back down on the charges and improve on quality be it the taxis, drivers and service then it's time to be more sensible with your hard-earned money.

It's really not the end of the world if you take less taxis or drop the option entirely.

 

[krafty]

Another reason tht I can think of why the fare increase is tht they are expecting more to drive taxi when economy hit a downturn next few years. Even if you want to drive taxi for comfort now,u will be placed on waiting list.

Makes no sense. If they expect more supply due to economic downturn, won't raising prices make things even worse for cabbies?

 

[lianbeng]

lianbeng heard only Comfort taxi n City cab start on monday 12/12 - the rest adopting wait n see approach.

I have written earlier at SBF about the long hours of the surcharges, please refer also to the letter to the ST Forum, Dec 8, 2011, "Imposing 15 1/2 hrs of surcharges daily is absurd". Let us recap the surcharges:

1. morning 6 am to 9.30am - 25%
2. evening 6pm to midnight - 25%
3. midnight to 6am - Midnight charges - 50%

That means from 6pm to the next dat 9.30am it is all sucharges, from Mon to Sun & Public Holidays, not including any other fees, plus those additional fees from certain destinantion (1)Airport (2) Changi Expo & where else?, please include ERP, etc.

Where in the world, we board a taxi (cab) & is bombarded with so many additional fees?,one just bargain the fees, or use the meter ( which may not be accurate), reach the destination, pay the fares & get off.

Why don't they compare taxi fares with (1)KL (2)Jakarta (3) Bangkok etc.. why with (1)Japan (2) Hong Kong???

This is not all, the flag down fares will beincreased by 20cts plus increases in charges by kilometers, in short, it is a very hefty increase. You think the hirer will benefit from all these increases & additional surcharges? there soon be an increase in rental & other misc fees too.

Those who are really dependant on taxis will suffer, where we will avoid the taxis unless it is a necessity, that means more will be taking the PUBLIC TRANSPORT, like the buses & trains, and can the system cope?

The other thing is why are we allowing oligopolists to make money out of us, and are taxis PUBLIC TRANSPORT & was the PTC consulted or PTC stands for Pass The Cost? Have the Leopard Change its spots?

HK taxi is cheaper.
Because Singapore taxi fare need to included surcharge,ERP,CDB. When you add all it will more expensive than HK.
