Suntec is next to Marina Square. Ang mo accent haven't integrated with Singlish yet.

Reed argued that the Government has a part to play in the taxi industry and that if the jobs of cabbies are opened to non-Singaporean Asians, it would make current drivers "more competitive, less ignorant and complacent".

Foreigners now allowed to meddle in SG's politics by telling the government what to do?

Imho, can be confusing (to visitors) with many surcharges ..and not just after midnight. And truth be told, many (especially new cabbies) do ask locals where and how to go. Even for old cabbies, polite to ask passenger preference on route.

You made your point, let's move on. More important things to bitch and moan about

point noted, but i still think sinkie taxi system is pretty efficient except for the levy charges on certain hours. wait till u take taxis in other countries like msia, china, pinoy, thailand etc.

i still wonder how sinkie taxi system is opened to abuses. how would taxi drivers able to abuse such a regimental system?
 
Obviously has not experienced cabbies in too many places - and london cabbies are not the nicest people to get into a cab with - granted they have the Knowledge but if a taxi uncle gets lost then its still gonna cost you less than 10quid. Try getting very far on that same amount in London. What a Brit wanker.

True, worse off in KL. Was there last weekend, many cabbies lepak (loiter around). Asking for princely ringgit 15 for short (walking distance even <2km) from Bkt Bintang to nearby Pudu. In lousy tin can Proton. Could also be the darned traffic grid and low flag up fares. Newer blue coloured cabs with higher flag up fares ringgit 6 better bet

Many of the locals are aware that those loitering around there are only looking for tourists. Honest cabbies who try to do business there have been threatened or have had their windows broken.
Did initially use the services of those at BB & found out from one of these crooks that he used to be bus drivers in Spore:D As I was there for quite some time I learned to use the LRT/MRT system & simply avoided the problem.

Same problem exists whether you are in LOS, Jakarta, ..... JB:o However those extortionate prices are equivalent to what we normally pay in Spore so it really shouldn't really be a big deal for a Sporean.
 
"hey, ya,can ya hap ah cuppa tea?" :rolleyes:

nin nabeh eh, lasup angmo, come here and shit. not happy, please fuck off!

taxi drivers like me, life is very tough...sibeh tough... with lky's cronies probing daily and still have to put up with your unruly remarks, please don't-don't fuck off!

Oh I agree with the Ang Mo.

Sinkie cabbies lack of manners, most can't even know how to get around the little island and worst the passenger could land up getting killed, just from the way Sinkie taxi drivers drive!

There are reasons behind all these. Sinkie taxi drivers are a bunch of retards, that are certainly from a group of Sinkie who are eithier jobless or hopeless and have to drive a cab or cannot be employed after they hit their 40s. Some are even mental as you can guess from some taxi drivers in this forum. Some are doing it part time and you can guess why part timers are such.

If Sinkie taxi drivers are good and nice fellows, why do they need to pull all sorts of dirty tricks just to earn more?

And don't idiots come here to cite high over heads for Sinkie cabbies to act 'chow kuan'.

For all you want to know, the demand for cabs are more than the supply so it's the Sinkie cabbies that are selective and as employers, if your employee is selective on their jobs, bosses only have one recourse.

Fire them, right?

Which is why they deserved to be screwed by the Pappies and the GLC gangs!:D

Let's put this in right perspective. JB's notorious, yes and can't say much for other places. But Bkk's generally a dream when hailing 1 in most places (except for mafia patpong stretch and hotel leeches like everywhere else who don't use the meter). Can even choose better looking, newer cabs. In night spots, Q waiting for you. And flag fare is affordable. Probably it's system, part demographics and supply/demand

j333, interesting insight on baddies bullying decent cabbies in KL.
