He will just grumble along the way knn why must pay $3 for taxi to come in. I rather go elsewhere to pick up than at MBS

  fully agree. i especially hate it when people board and then ask rudely why got $3??? that happened on thurs , think we cheating them ?? pls la if i wanna cheat , i rather cheat hundreds or thousands.$3 ?? cheat $3 can do wad?  really farking assholes.

  Unless MBS $4 CBD surcharge , CBD at Suntec $3 surcharge , maybe for the $1 , at least create some dilemma for me .

  Now straight forward la , $3 and Marina or Shenton area .

  U can try smrt taxis .

  Or smart , Vee43171 , where are u ?

  yeah agree with Poolman. Prime indeed will impose the surcharge From Mon - Sat  Except Sun from 6 am to Midnight.

  Sian why dun include Sunday and PH and  the timing is not 24hrs ?  Tds working on this day will try to avoid to go to MBS if they can .

  For SMRT taxis, the location surcharge start from 13 May 2010.

  Mon-Sat 5pm-12mn

  PH & Sun 6am-12mn

  Good .

  if MBS got surcharge , it'll divert some taxi in , so wouldn't cause too saturated taxi in certain areas like at Orchard .

  I dont understand this one:

  Casino imposed $100 for entrance fee I dont think anyone complain and when taxi co announce to charge $3 surcharge at MBS, they got excited???

  They can save $3 by walking to the nearest MRT.

  Knn, Everyday Rob People (ERP) nobody complain nowaday. WTF- $3 surcharge kbkp.

  Somemore ERP is market rate wan, can just change the rate easily by electronic gantry. No paperwork, no coupon, no speed limit during Rain or Shine still can capture you with picture somemore.

  Location surcharge is market force lah....no taxi wanna go there so market force. No pax wanna take taxi also market force.
