  Alvin , when i first drove a taxi , that time i drove the Toyota Corona , 7 years old Corona , si bey jiat you , knn only $0.44 / litre , whole day chiong like fuck , only $18 maximum !!!!

  Now u complaining , i immune liao ..... i want business only .

  So my solution ?

  Go into City take the CBD surcharge , do my maximum intake i can have when i am vacant , ready for new customers .

  If CBD got ready-made $3 , i will forgo call at $3.50 outside CBD area .

  The best it's CBD with booking , can cover for quite a bit of diesel cost .

  no demand sure has to be unchanged .

  Diesel high demand , so price follow market rate .

  not surprising...

  they already said they won't increase rental fee....

  they didn't say they won't increase diesel price...

  diesel hike is base on market forces , taxi companies can really do nothing .

  I for one never blame comfort for the hike .

  In fact , reverse , i appreciate what comfort did to subsidise a bit for us as in rebate form .

  SMRT has about 3000+ taxi after decades? Premier and Trancab have grown to 2500-3000 within a year or two. SMRT won't be 2nd for long.... sorry to say that but it is a disgrace to SMRT/TIBS management... let anyone else manage SMRT earlier and it would have been much nearer to comfort size over the decades... from what i observe in taxi business, size does matters
