Will taxi company increase rental ?
Unless they want more drivers to jump ship .
When COE up , most will not renew their COE , so they have to take taxis .
Usually when COE peak , taxi business will be better .
picked up someone who claimed hes involved in the transport industy, said that theres gonna be a major shakeup, quite a couple things probably heading north soon, dont be surprised (rents? pump prices? surcharges?), so keep an eye on the look out
When i first drove a cab , my meter $2.60 flag down , then up $2.80 .
For almost 2 months , was hit hard by that mere $0.20 increase , knnbccb Singaporeans , sucker lot ! For just $0.20 to cope with the increase in diesel , they knnbccb stop taking taxis . But fuck la , it's a sooner or later they be back , indeed they came back .... This time even bigger demand , boycott your head !
If u dun take , somebody else will !!!
Then Comfort up the booking til $4 and $2.50 respectively ..... up $4 is to curb the demand , effective la , at first many also boycott booking , but later also lan lan must call .
Situation got worsen !!!
Then SMRT changed the midnight charge structures .
11.30pm , their midnight 50% start ..... then we see lots of SMRT cabbies take this time to makan .
Cos nobody taking their cab at 11.30pm .
Most switch to Comfort and others .
12am then all same fare , fuck type proposal .
The eventually SMRT gave up this plan , cos drivers complaint , useless .
When SMRT first came into the business , flag down cheapest in Sgp , $2.10 nia , compare to $2.20 for other taxis .
That was before i start driving .
Their peak hour stretch until 12am during Friday night .
Many fare structures changed hand , changed here changed there , same story 10pm , still very chaotic .

They take the opportunity to registered more taxi.Is always the same argument, other costs had gone up. Or COE is just a small portion of the cost. But when COE goes up is a big issue. knn.
F lar, goverment n taxi companies only knoe
how to squeeze more $$ frm us only.............
Crude oil index is pointing to the above 90 bucks a barrel thingy. Our operating cost will go up indefinitely. Good Luck. My neighbour patrick is also out from TD le....found a job.
