On the first day of fare increase ....
-
Most people are aware of the price increase .... that $3 city charge .
Most people are not aware of the 35% off meter peak hour charge .
Most people also not aware the distance charge .
Some people just gets too clever ....
Most people don't mind the fare ....
Corporate customers don't care about the increase ....
Some even booked a cab @ 10pm , due to long human Q . ( they are aware )
Customers staying at Yishun / Wlands / Sembawang / CCK / Jurong / Simei / Pasir Ris / Tampines worst hit !!
Especially Woodlands / Sembawang / Yishun from City . ( Evening ERP charge ) -
Those staying at Wlands , YIshun and Sembawang poor thing ....
They will have to pay almost $28-$32 from usual $20-$23 .
Depending on CTE ERP charge .
If they paid the highest tariff for everything , they simply "jaw-drop" !!! -

10pm : Bugis to Tampines St 32 via ECP / KPE / PIE : $23 . ( with $3.50 booking ) -

My goodness! this is madness...

Some just gets too clever .... knowing City got $3 charge , they chose to wait at places like Outram MRT , Newton MRT , Sim Lim SQ , Far East Plaza , Shaw Centre etc ... just outside City taxi stand .
Felt sorry for them ..... they just simply at the end of the day , still need to book a cab !!!
My advice : Cabbies will chose $3 extra . A few metre we skip these places , enter City , $3 xtra , who dun want ???
Hokkien say : Kiang jiu ho , mai kay kiang !!! -
