Any questions regarding about taxis? Post them here

the cabby wont like it because he will only get the money a few days laterOriginally posted by SBS9889U: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?
btw, theres a 10% surcharge if paid by credit card -
With the recent wave of advertisements enticing people into larger, more organised taxi companies (especially the SMRT taxis), may I know if there still have people going into STTA for their career/jobs?
And yeah, how would STTA get new cabbies? Recruitment drive? Or by other means?
BTW are the taxi licenses transferrable? -
from what i heard, i think STTA is a so-called dying company... they are private taxis... when their current taxi lifespan is up, can apply for a new taxi (Toyota Crown), then Comfort used to buy in these taxi license for $10,000 apiece, but it stopped doing so a few years ago..Originally posted by SGEMP:With the recent wave of advertisements enticing people into larger, more organised taxi companies (especially the SMRT taxis), may I know if there still have people going into STTA for their career/jobs?

can try asking the cabby... wonder why they want to go private.. cant get bookings or whatnot -
and yeah, where is the HQ/base of STTA?
I checked into the yellow pages 2005/2006, but could not find anything about STTA. -
I think some of the cabbies would rather work harder for themselves, than being manipulated and pressurised by larger, more organised taxi companies.Originally posted by 105090:can try asking the cabby... wonder why they want to go private.. cant get bookings or whatnot
BTW I have noticed that some of STTA cabs do hang the on-call sign. -
what would happen to the passenger, if the cab he/she is in breaks down, while he/she is on his/her way to his/her destination?
would there be special arrangements for them? -
negotiate with the driver, maybe pay a portion of the fare, curse his luck and flag down another one... try asking what happens if kanna accidentOriginally posted by SGEMP:what would happen to the passenger, if the cab he/she is in breaks down, while he/she is on his/her way to his/her destination?

1) May I know why there always have $1 (or more) "taxi extras" shown on meters during each and every taxi ride(s)?
2) Also, I have seen some cabbies parking their cabs at HDB carparks. Actually at the end of each shift (and especially at night) are they allowed to do that? Or must they park their cabs at HQs of respective taxi companies (if they have no change shift)? -
Can taxi driver cancel booking?
-
I think......technically possible......Originally posted by SBS9889U:Can taxi driver cancel booking?
(not sure about this)
But no one would like to do that of course!!! -

i would like to ask why some taxis got mercedes rims. the company put the rims or is it the drivers?
-
Most likely by the cabbies.Originally posted by sexy girls:i would like to ask why some taxis got mercedes rims. the company put the rims or is it the drivers?
When the company hires out the (first-hand) cabs to cabbies, I think it would be in their original (non-merc) rims.
Then later days when the cabbies have enough $$$ they may take time and money out to do that modification. -
