[Singapore] - Taxi driver tells passenger he needn't pay if he got no $$$ on hand, and even gave him receipt to claim $$$ from employers

[UltimaOnline]

As told in a Facebook post from Aug. 24, one Arun took a ComfortDelGro cab as he was rushing to go to work on a Sunday afternoon (Aug. 22).

Passenger had no cash​

As the cab was making its journey from Bedok to Loyang, Arun asked the driver if he could pay for the fare via cashless payment methods as he had no cash on him.

Unfortunately, the driver couldn't accept that as the taxi's payment terminal couldn't connect to the network.

Driven to pay his fare, Arun made several other suggestions, including stopping by an ATM to withdraw some cash or paying via PayNow.

However, the driver told him that there are no ATMs along the way and he has not registered for PayNow.

Taxi driver refused payment​

Instead, the driver apparently told the passenger not to worry and to treat it as a free trip instead.

Arun asked the driver for his phone number in an attempt to contact him when he finally has the cash to make payment.

However, the driver continued to refuse.

As if his small act of kindness wasn't enough, the driver gave him the receipt for the trip worth S$8.32 so that Arun can make a claim from his employers.

Appreciating the driver's efforts, Arun said: "(The) driver was really kind-hearted and deserved to be recognised. Thank you for your kindness!"

Next, you will see CECA demanding all taxi drivers to be as kind-hearted as this Taxi driver and order the Taxi drivers to give them a free ride.

This is considered fraud...how can you issue a receipt without any form of payment ????

Arun must have given the taxi driver a blow job to repay back the fare.

There are still many kind souls in life. You feel happy if you can help someone in some way. Keep the candle of humanity burning.
