will this be excuse for fare hike again?
-
that's good news for taxi drivers. Not sure whether they will lower the fare.
-
they should introduce a 2.5L model. cabbies then will realise that their cab is not a monster truck anyhow swerve around in traffic. that will improve road safety. same goes for bus, big lumbering giant with a huge powerful engine, the bigger engine doesnt really get us anywhere faster in peak hours does it?
the bigger engine only does the following,
1) bus/taxi off duty peddle to the floor chiong all the way back to interchange/base, fast n furious eh?
2) cant lane change fast enough? peddle to the floor and switch lanes almost like going to drift out into the lane. -
Fare hike ? how i wish ...Originally posted by FireIce:will this be excuse for fare hike again?
Fare hike ? Comfort will be the deciding company , if flag-down up , Comfort will be helping their competitor to survive , no favour to competitor , so no fare hike , at least for the next couple of years .
You should be happy . -
Still no ! Please call during rush hours .Originally posted by FireIce:so will it be easier to get a cab now?
If within the CBD between 5.30pm til 11pm , please dial for a cab .
In morning rush , at housing estate , please dial from 7.30am til 10am .
Dial high chance to get a cab . -
its fully CNG or bi-fuel? maybe thats why its got a lower rental...
still, good vehicle for the market... got more varieties -
Bi Fuel , CNG full tank mileage = 300km , then can replace by pertrol .Originally posted by 105090:its fully CNG or bi-fuel? maybe thats why its got a lower rental...

I have seen it on the road liao and was thinking what car is it ... so can it also run on diesel or petrol or just CNG it should be a much better drive than the crown I think
-
for cabbies, its more worth it to run on CNG than on diesel, even though diesel is subsidised slightly for cabbies..Originally posted by seancannot:I have seen it on the road liao and was thinking what car is it ... so can it also run on diesel or petrol or just CNG it should be a much better drive than the crown I think
only thing is CNG pump is at jurong, but theres 2 more coming up, co-built by SMART taxi.
i tried those CNG buses, engines are slightly quieter

Wonder is Komoco also selling the car to public

Yes ! You're right ! After Smart launched Asia's first CNG Mercedes CDi taxi , the feedback from drivers is positive .Originally posted by 105090:for cabbies, its more worth it to run on CNG than on diesel, even though diesel is subsidised slightly for cabbies..

The Engine is much more powerful .
The Engine is quiet .
The air is clean .
The consumption is low , compared to diesel .
Now all the taxi companies is still in negotiation terms with LTA , to discuss a further Road Tax reduction in place of the current high r/tax for Diesel taxis .
At the end of the road , the consumers better bet the deal goes thru' well , cos i don't see the current taxi flag down price @$2.40 will stay long after the prices of oil per barrell goes up to the US$75 mark , and going up no end .
To benefits all people , from taxi companies , drivers , consumers , the only way to counter the rising prices of diesel is CNG !
Comfort's first step towards using CNG taxis is rolling in , from buying cheaper non-japanese CNG taxis , cheaper COEs , and affordable CNG prices .
I'm quitting diesel taxis , next for me it's that Hyundai's Sonanta .
Good for me , i stay within 15 minutes journey from Jurong Island . -
