well before you talk c@ck check yur facts. look at the stats in 2004 onwards. even LTA have fined Taxis numerous times. the latest stats can be gotten from LTA handbook.
http://app.lta.gov.sg/corp_press_content.asp?start=1174
in 2004, when they were only 75% of the cabs today, less ocngested roads and yet , in sept 2004 ALL TAXIS were fined for high accident rates. what nonsense are you talking about. check your facts otehr iwse you sound ld!iotic. for the latest stats, go down and ask LTA yourself. they probably did not put it on website nowadays to prevent public anger.
It is precisely I find taxis driver the worst for a developed country like singapore(pleasse don't compare with third world countries like African cities or vietnam. in fact alot of time the service lapsed there is due to miscommunication and not rudeness). seem I hit a sore spot huh? either you are a cab driver or have a born loser relative driving one. that's why the garmen makes it a protected job unlike bus driver or cooks(they have a higher respect in society). Open the job market to foreigners even though I'm a local and ALL problems and service standards would improve overnight. too scare to try huh . No wonder in ancient China the equivalent of taxi drivers is those lowly sedan chair carriers. only in singapore you have all the hide and seek games at 12 midnite and before peak hours. go and ask LTA for the stats. singapore has the highest density of taxis per million pop and squarre miles . 2 times more than HK. I have nothing to prove to you and all born losers. It is beyond my dignity. even the national taxi associations and their unions are keeping quiet themselves. either because the truth hurts or they are ball-less themselves (not unexpected given that they are make up of taxi drivers themselves). hah.
PS even you do not know a simple fact like tokyo pop . Tokyo city pop during daytime is as high as 20 miillion and if the metropolitan area is included it is much higher- it is 35,682,460( 35.68 million ). this is the reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_by_population
This is just a sample reference. no point posting all the refernces to all the facts I mentioned . it is a waste of my time talking to lazy bummers who are too lazy do their own homework.
