There was a line of taxis waiting for passengers at an empty taxi stand in Gardens by the Bay.
But one man took to social media after claiming that he had been refused a ride there—not just once, but at least five times.
In a Facebook post on the Complaint Singapore page on Saturday (June 1), Rabi Leo said that the "five to six" taxi drivers there all declined to ferry him to Sengkang.
He claimed: "One uncle said, 'You should ask the front one'. Then I told him. 'In front all don't want to pick up'. He replied, 'Then you ask behind'."
"I know times are tough, but this is not like other counties. Can you just choose and pick customers?"
Lamenting that it's not the first time taxi drivers had refused to pick him up, Leo urged the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to look into the matter.
"One kind uncle previously said that all of them are waiting to go to the airport," he said. "So they are waiting to find [a customer] who is going near that location."
Leo's post has since garnered more than 140 reactions.
