  Hi ALN,

   

  I take cab quite often at least twice a day. I gave up my car recently.

  I like to talk to cabbie if they make sense. 

  I usually choose cab when i am waiting for one if there are plentiful esp camry, sokda, sonota, kia, they are more comfortable and avoid nissan, yellowtop toyotas.

  I also have a couple of cabbies who pick me on a regular basis.

  for me upon boarding cab i'll greet the cabby by either saying "hello" or "hello uncle" then tell him where I would like to go..

• ALN

  30 Jul 08, 20:48

  yo allu, u gave up your car? successful story for LTA to write about? haha... anyway most welcome to take cab... and yeah... no offence to crown cabbies, but i also prefer auto taxi... in fact i insist
• ALN

  30 Jul 08, 20:56

  mospeada and others, do share any feedback on like/dislike about singapore taxi... as a commuter myself at times, - i hate cabbies who black face plus never even 'hi' type - i used to like cabbies who know route well and avoid jam (but now no need liao cos i will tell them the exact route...haha)
• QX179R

  Likes

  - Friendly, pleasant & helpful cabbies
  - Clean cabs

  Dislikes

  - No sign of cabs when I need one (no bookings for me)
  - Cabbies who purposely take the longest route
  - Fare increases
  - Cabbies who go way above the speed limit
  - Cabbies who start the meter way before I even boarded

  * Will update further if I got other things to add

  wow moderator contribute again... but please dont add cabby who dont give discount hor... just kidding
• QX179R

  30 Jul 08, 21:23

  don't worry, as a commuter I'm not so cheapskate till like that hor..

  but sometimes I like those cabbies who juz round down the figure (e.g $5.50) to just $5 as I don't carry coins with me..

  Took the Sonata for the first time..not bad..and obviously at least a far improvement from the noisy Crown. Transmission is smooth too.

   

  But of course, i'll still pick the Mercedes if i have the choice. Hard to question the reliability and ride quality of German technologies.

   

  PS: hardly take taxis..dont add me to the list

  round down 50cent a bit too much for me... usually i only round down 10cent or sometimes 30cent if the fare is already $20+... but ang moh... i will tell them $10.10... they usually round up... haha
