My opinion ..... this con-man taxi has been to Japan , and has taken a cab from TokyoNarita Airport to the City , and was charge legally @S$240, really one , Japan taxi damn expensive , from AP - Tokyo City , any hotel , on meter jump until u heart attack .Originally posted by lalala1999:$140 is really too over ..
Now this taxi driver revenge back . -
That's why i said : Investigate what ? LTA also one kind , not posssible to investigate , just tell them not possible to trace , case closed ! Say what they will investigate the case .Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Wah
Dunno what company/color , no receipt , no taxi number
Die man!! LTA cannot investigate at all
This S'porean also one kind , knowing don't have anything to trace , still complaint ?
Here , how do we know it's a genuine case ? Or it's a case of tarnishing Spore Taxi images ?
Taxi drivers do have a case here ......... -
We have a few doubts here :
If i'm that Japanese , i reach Japan , reach home liao , and i still worry about that taxi trip ?????
It's a holiday , why spoilt my holiday like that worrying ?
I won't IDD back to my singaporean friend , why ? Japanese got dignity , why lao-kui like that ?
After 9 hours flight from Spore - Japan , if i'm that Japanese , I'm happy that I'm home in one piece , not in a box .
Why should i be worrying about this $140 taxi trip ?
Sometimes ....... it's a SHIN MING anyhow print stories to attarct viewmanship . -
once i went to GuangZhou and forget to take my luggage when i reach my destination, i walk for a while and suddenly think, how come i just carrying my hang bag only? So i quickly run back to the taxi stand, but i cant find it. I didnt take receipt, i forgot what company(i found out later that there are more than 10taxi company in GuangZhou), only remember it's red, but there are many company with red cabs.
So i lost:
a philip shaver, the "3head" recharge type, cost me RMB1500 to buy another one.
a 70% full bottle of Hugo boss perfume.
clothes.
Other minor stuffs.
Lucky my documents/cash/valuable stuffs are all in hang bag. -
Aiyo....
I think yeah.. that cab driver had been to Japan, and know the rates there. Thats why he dared to charge $140. Also, because maybe the Japanese did not take a taxi in Singapore before, and that $140 "cheaper-than-Japan" ride was their first..
Really tarnishing the image of Singapore and Taxi Drivers....

if got sg fren cannot ask meh.. if i were em, i'd ask and complain oso.. even if not a direct punishment at least a general warning might help prevent future cases.
ppl dishonest and ruin sg name cannot let ppl noe meh.. -
actually, there are 2 possible leads to trace the taxi. 1st is the CCTV from the hotel taxi stand. 2nd, the CCTV from airport. no sweat.
