SINGAPORE: Even as the Land Transport Authority brings out the big stick in its bid to rein in errant cabbies starting today, a Member of Parliament has proposed a peak-hour carrot - a "location surcharge" - to improve taxi services in areas with greater demand.

MP Seng Han Thong has suggested an additional sum for busy places like clubs, pubs, hotels, shopping malls and Raffles Place.

The root cause of soliciting, refusing to pick up passengers and overcharging lay in the pricing mechanism, he said, and errant cabbies resorted to such behaviour because demand for taxis exceeded the supply at certain times and places.

The MP, who is adviser to the six-affiliate Taxi Operators' Association, wrote in the latest edition of NTUC This Week: "Taxi companies need to impose surcharges at taxi stands in the CBD (central business district) and Orchard Road areas during peak hours, and at lobbies of hotels, major tourist attractions and nightspots."

This postings was a few weeks old before the incident. Always believe that some of them are the lowest form of low life, even worst than real estate agents, prostitutes and used car salesman. they are Born losers who think the world world revolves around them. don't sound like a mental case as he was able to sneak up behind and pour thinner on MP. sounds very rational leh. BTW how come blind in one eye and still can drive taxi. maybe MP/grasroot pull string? bad luck for that MP who was the adviser to taxis companies. moral of story generally is just do not have anything to do with these low lifers/born losers. leave them alone to suffer. well, lose -lose situation for all. let nature takes it course.
