Reference Books about taxis
-
Well, yesterday afternoon, I went to the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library of National Library, located on the 11th storey.
At the same rack as the reference books for buses (such as TL guides), I also found some books/booklets about taxis, below the TL guides.
They were namely:
1) Singapore Taxi Service (a 1980s book published by EPB)
2) Taxi Guide (also in 1980s by NTUC Comfort?)
3) Cabby newsletter for Citycab/Yellow-Top cab.
To find them, first take a lift to 11th storey, put down any bags with you into the locker(a must!), go into the reference library until reaching the corridor that is between two book racks, and walk until you see the rack of audio-visual materials to your right.
Then turn right and walk until you find the TL guides to your right.
And look into the two racks that is below the TL guides.
The books about taxis are found in these two racks.
Enjoy reading and researching more about taxis! -

Welcome.Originally posted by 105090:thanks a lot..! i will definitely go and visit it one day..
Anyway these books are available at ALL TIME ROUND, since these books, found in the reference library, are not for loan.
And in other words, they would not be lent out........and be there permanently.....at all times.
And so, there are some small notepapers found beside the computerised catalogue, which again located at the corridor between two book racks. You could pick one to record down the info. -

11th storey. thats right! today i went there earlier. i saw many buses and MRT books, notably "Singapore buses handbook" with the 190 bus on the front cover. however, the taxi books was disappointing. they were very hard to find. i gave up after a while. i only saw the "Caby news" megazines on the lower shelves only.
Call number for land transport is 388. -
