No more excuses! We better see more cabs on the road with new scheme!

[MaxRiley]

Nowadays so hard to get cabs when you really need it.
Hope this new scheme by Ang Hin Kee will have more cabs on the road.

Taxi association hopes cab firms will agree to new renting scheme that aims to boost service levels


The National Taxi Association (NTA) hopes to get taxi firms to agree to a new cab renting system that will assign two drivers to one vehicle.

This means hirers need not look for their own relief drivers which can be a problem.

The proposed new arrangement will see the hirer and relief driver both enter an agreement with an operator.

The initiative is one of several that the NTA has embarked on in its bid to make it easier for taxi drivers to find relief drivers. Another is a workshop held Saturday morning at the Employment and Employability Institute at Jurong East to encourage drivers to co-share and educate new taxi license holders about the industry.

Does it solve the problem of changing shifts? So many of them didn't want to pick up passengers in CBD!!! I had to wait for almost 25 mins just to get a cab even though there were so many empty cabs that zipped past.
