The LOWEST Fare I ever collected at Airport
-
$6.10 (before $3 surcharge)
at airport pickup queue, a guy and gal (both mid twenties, looks classy and educated) came over..both looking elsewhere but dont want look at me, i thought they tao. the gal quickly jump into back seat, the guy like wan to quickly load into boot, but i help him. then he got in.
he like dont want to give destination, just only directions..then 2 immediate left turns out of airport compound later, reach liao!
after i stopped and read the fare, the gal jumped out so fast out of the cab i didnt even hear the door open and close..the guy like paiseh, paid up and mumbled he will collect from boot himself but i still got out to help him, then we bade each other goodbyes..i nowhere to go so i thought go back airport la..
then the next fare is $8.80 (before $3 surcharge)!
this next fellow (late thirties/early forties, slim, also quite classy dressing and look) lots of branded luggage, also dont want to look at me, kept his head high, but i helped him load into boot. he kept quiet. then when he got in, he said very quickly Mandarin Gardens, exit Bedok. then kept very quiet very still look out of window. i worried i hear wrong so i gently asked again, he like irritated, said louder this time. Mandarin Gardens. Exit Bedok. i said oh ok, go by ECP.
when we reached. the guy wanted to go by resident entry, but the guard refused to lift the barrier. the guard insisted we reverse back onto road, then enter by visitor entry. the guy was really pissed becos i think he wanted to quickly go back.
when alighting that time, he paid in dollar notes..then waited for my change, i was digging becos i couldnt find the 20 cents..then he quickly asked for receipt (after i return him the exact change). then again quickly kept, got out go to boot unload. i also got out to help him, then he quickly went back into the lobby without goodbyes.
the first ride i waited 45min. this second ride i waited 90min.

Hi Guys,
Being a commuter, i feel very pai seh taking cab from airport as i live in Bedok, you can smhow sense the disappointment and some even displayed it pretty openly. I understand it is not easy for you guys to q up so long and in the end get a low fare destination but smtimes we really bo bian gotta take cab.
Wonder if there is any solution to create a win-win situation.
Cheers~! =D

My shortest trip from Budget to T1. When the pax told me about the destination, I asked why dont take free shuttle bus. Pax said went to wrong terminal & beg me to send him there as he's going to miss the flight & said he will compensate me.
So ok lor since he say that. Send him there with meter running. Reach there he swee swee pay me $20.
