TAXI fares are going up on the back of a fuel surcharge that one cab company is introducing from next Wednesday.
Premier Taxis, which has about 2,000 cabs here, will charge passengers 50 cents more per ride. Observers expect the other players to follow suit - but probably not immediately.
There are six other companies here, accounting for a total of 26,000 cabs. Though none of them said they had plans to impose a fuel surcharge, most are mulling over it.
Mr Teo Kiang Ang, managing director of Trans-Cab, the second-biggest operator here, said: 'We should, because fuel price is so high. We're waiting for 'big brother'.'
He was referring to market leader ComfortDelGro, which yesterday said it had no plans yet to impose a surcharge.
Prime Taxis general manager Tan Soon Chye said the company has been in discussions with its drivers, and expects to make a decision in a week's time.

2. Standardise Current booking fee $3.00, Adv $5.00
3. Peaking hour surcharge drop to 30%
4. $1 surcharge for all Sundays & PH!
Give & take la.. add a bit, minus a bit lor...
Pool call for Mr Teo. I call Mr Raymond minister... wake up! Tolong tolong ah!

What big brother? I think trans cab should impose it next week no need to wait. only worry is will people avoid Silver cab on 16 of march? extra 50 cent mean more cost for customers. taxi drivers happy if every taxi companies in singapore do the same. why no discussions with drivers before impose? other taxis drivers are happy because of this why because 2000 taxis will be avoided by customers.

true, once election over...surcharge $1, no wonder, silvercab boss did not stand for election -
Silver cab are more or less used to test the ground, once pax do not bother much, rest will follow, but of course, what stated is that if oil price is to go down, this surcharge will be taken away. Bu then, in singapore, what goes up, seldom come down one lah
