  Booking Fee: S$2.50  

  Meter Fare: S$9.80

  Total Cost: S$12.30

  Its a 5 seater as the boot is taken up by CNG tank, still, the boot is extremely capacious.

  Flag down fare: S$3.20 (Cause it is labeled as Limousine)

  should be coz its spacious as well as commuters (tourists especially) can travel in luxury & I guess it needs time to tell..

  but as for the VW tourans, its a different matter altogether

  I too hope to see more mercedes taxis on the roads using the various classes & as you've mentioned the S320 CDI but I don't think the taxi companies will spend so much on purchasing the S-class as taxis though
