Oh. Now taxi drivers are allowed to impose fuel surcharge??
-
I flagged down a maxi cab ytd nite around 1am at dhoby gaut area. The uncle told me that if I wanted to go to pasir ris, I must pay him an extra $10 in fuel surcharge on top of the meter fare and midnight surcharge. He say his fuel expensive and he needs to change shift at Jurong.
Has there been a change of rules? Or is that guy a bastard out to con poor student's money? -

Why you don't take liao than 5 people run in 5 directions?Teach him a lesson.

5 people ? Then why not take two cabs ? Let cabby make a little la .....
Got ever 5 fellas want to take my cab , i charge them $4 each from Boat Quay to Taman Jurong !
($20) ... They say thank you until buay hoo .... Cos take 2 cabs total about $32 .
well , it's good news you took a bus instead , less-hassle .....
Maxi Cab to "extra-charge" u , understood la .... by right cannot , but by left , it's a 7-seater ... do u expect to pay the same price like a Crown ? Then we normal Crown driver eat what ?
Their rental almost $130 per day .... ours $92 per day , if they ply the trade like us , why must they drive a Maxi ?
Normally , if u dial for a Maxi Cab , it's a straight $8 booking fee i think ... so more or less , he is charging you for a booking .
Since u never take , hope u understand their position of being a Maxi Cabby , again , by right , cannot , but by left .... like i say , 5 fellas , what u expect .
I guessed if u complaint also bo pian , they are protected species by CityCab .
Don't believe ? Complaint and try .
I in the taxi industry i know .... LTA also bo pian , cos MaxiCab no driver wanna drive .
