  According to traditon , Private Yellow Top will 100% follow whatever comfort does .
  
  I cannot find u an aswer to this cheaper trip .
  
  I think this driver is late to get his taxi meter contractor to re-adjust his meter . That's the only reason i can think of .

  Movies also increase , still that can't defy people from watching a movie .
  
  When u need to catch a movie , u just need to catch a movie . same to taxi .
  
  If u 're in a hurry , taxi is the best transport that can make up for the lost time . Unless u drive of course .
  
  If u think u need 2 interchanges , and 45 minutes more by bus or MRT to reach a destination , taxi is the next best transport , to cut down those interchanges , to save time & trouble .
  
  U chose the options .

  Precisely. When you know the price increased, and when you took the cab, it is even cheaper then before, i am 100 percent sure you will be curious.
