Actually.. CityCab or Comfort better, just that because of some horrible cabbiesOriginally posted by Mospeada:least cabs yet poor service....the taxi drivers have got little customer service mentality.... -
I hate TRANSCAB becos the drivers are dishonest

i agree with you and they are rude too.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:I hate TRANSCAB becos the drivers are dishonest -
i hate most taxi drivers.. no offence, but they always treat the road as teir ah kong roads, just stop and go as they llikke, and sometimes behave dangerously on the roads, like playing hot pursuit or urban racing.
And their repeated pleas on falling income, well, they should go and find some other ways to increase revenue instead of whining away sometimes.. refusing to pick up customers, and waiting for bookings instead, and whaty happens if they cant get any bookings? start to complain..
No wonder that their income is falling( yes, more competitors play a part), and theior accident rate remains high..
well well....
OK, there are some very nice drivers out there, but many are the typical hell taxi driver... disappointing, considering tai fares are also quite high in Singapore.. the consumer is always at the disadvantaged -
Anyway..if u accidentaly left ur things behind..they won't return to uOriginally posted by 5454:i agree with you and they are rude too. -
For me, only the M-B taxis are seriously worth riding on !
Next would be the Opels & Volvo that's about it.
London Cab maybe the newer version only & the rest, quite simply a pile of junk which i don't find worth my fare !
For utimate running smoothness, i select the E 300 where the inline-6 cylinder 24-valve diesel sounds not too different from a petrol engine of the same cylinder count & cc when accelerating or crusing !
The E 250, with its inline-5 cylinder 20-valve or 10-valve (depending on series) both come next in 'refinement' levels.
The latest E 220 although less 'refined' with only 4-cylinders 16-valves but overall is well compensated with its very extensive technological improvements over the earlier models above such that overall, still a finer class of engine & car than the other taxis here.
Having taken the Proto Saga & Wira taxis in Malaysia, i find either of those more appealing to take than ANY of the Japanese taxis in Singapore !!
Their engine is so much quieter & performance as good if not better while suspension ride comfort about same.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:This is my favourite taxi

MB E300 or E220 CDI.
The E250 IMHO is noisy.
Get the LPG powered Falcons and Commodores here -
Citycab used to have Opels. SO did Comfort. THose belonging to the latter were station wagons.Originally posted by SBS9828X:Volvos and opel? i heard they are on trials arent they? -
THere are countless Falcons cruising the streets in Perth. Besides having more powerful engines than the Toyotas and Nissans, they are also auto-geared.Originally posted by LazerLordz:MB E300 or E220 CDI.

If it's the earlier W 124 series, there's that somewhat irritating (maybe enjoyable to some) Alfa Romeo like exhaust sound upon acceleration but overall the interior is quiet even when the engine is revved to the limit, it can sound like an Audi 5-cylinder petrol engine, which still is smoother & quieter running than all the Japanese taxis here.
The W210 E 250 they gotten rid of the noisy exhaust note but the running smoothness & quietness still better & quieter than the 4 or 6 cylinder Japanese taxis here.
As for LPG taxis, they also have some Protons in Malaysia with petrol & natural gas hybrid as taxis there. In noise, vibration & harshness levels of course you can expect lower levels in these areas compared to most (but not all) diesel taxis around but problem i'll say is the relative fuel inefficiency of these engines compared to diesels. Gas engines driving range is much lesser & more frequent refueling required &/or you need much bigger tanks so eat into lugguage or even passenger seating space & hence comfort & utility level of the taxi is compromised !! Also performance not automatically superior compared to the latest & best diesel cars around.Originally posted by LazerLordz:MB E300 or E220 CDI.
