An urgent question:

Firstly, Damai Sec Sch does NOT belong to you.Originally posted by SGEMP:An urgent question:
How much would it cost, and how much time would it take, if I take a taxi from my Damai Sec Sch to the Health Promotion Board, on a wednesday afternoon abt 1515h?
Secondly, budget about $15 for your cab fare. Should be more than sufficient. -
Should be a little more than $10.Originally posted by SGEMP:An urgent question:

Time taken is around 30+ mins or faster. -
Fast Route: Bedok Reservoir Rd > PIE > CTE > Outram Road
About 17,6 km So fare is about $2.40 + $8.30 so total fare about $10.70 -
Depends on the Road condition

why does some taxis produce a ding-dong sound when travelling at high speed?
-
Usually the ding-dong sound is produced when the taxi is travelling at speeds over 90km/h (as in speedometer).Originally posted by sexy girls:why does some taxis produce a ding-dong sound when travelling at high speed?
The ding-dong sound could always be heard when the taxi is travelling on the expressway, where cabbies have a tendency to speed to over 90km/h, and even up to 100-sth km/h!
I think the sound is produced to alert the driver of possible speeding. Thence the driver would try to slow down to safer speeds below 90km/h.
Note that ding-dong sounds would diminish when the speedometer reads 89km/h and below. -
i think only nissan cedric taxis have that sound...

and Toyota Corona's.Originally posted by sexy girls:i think only nissan cedric taxis have that sound... -
Question:
Want to get a taxi from Singapore to Johor Bahru and/or vice-versa?
Answer:
Normal Singaporean taxis are '''not allowed''' to cross into Malaysia (and vice versa). Specially licensed Singaporean taxis permitted to go to a single point in JB can be booked by phone (Johor Taxi Service from Singapore, tel. ''+65''-6296-7054, S$ 45.00 one way to fixed point in JB, Kotaraya), while Malaysian taxis (which can go anywhere in Malaysia) can be taken from Rochor Rd at premium rates. A combination ride from anywhere in Singapore to anywhere in Malaysia can also be arranged, but you'll need to swap cabs halfway through: this will cost S$40 and up, paid to the Singaporean driver. In the reverse direction towards Singapore, you can take taxis from Kotaraya to any point in central Singapore (S$30) or Changi Airport (S$40).
You can also opt to '''share taxis''' from Rochor Rd, which usually works out to around S$7-10 per person with four people (S$40/cab). The main advantage here is that you don't need to lug your stuff (or yourself) through Customs at both ends; you can just sit in the car. These are Malaysian-registered cars. (Yellow Proton Wira)
The most expensive option is to take a '''limousine taxi''' specially licensed to take passengers from any point to any destination, but only a few are available and they charge a steep RM150 per trip. Advance booking is highly recommended, tel. ''+60''-7599-1622. -

Hmm, wonder why some of the STTA cabs are fitted with Mercedes-Benz rims...perhaps maybe they imagine that they are driving a Mercedes-Benz cab

Can pay for taxi fare in like VISA and cash?
Example: Your wallet only got $7, but the fare $7.90, can pay the remaining fare with VISA? -
