  those want to take taxi will still take taxi.

  that day got 1 pax at fusionopolis just next to 1-north station going to holland village, peak hours somemore. taxi stand no pax q, taxi only about 3 nia. but heng waited for abt 5min nia.

  initially will affect abit i think. but after sometime, those who can afford might not want to save that little money by going thru all the trouble & wasting so much time on the mrt.

  in fact , just got some discussions with some old kaki from Comfort , they shaking head .

  Then i realized , those Circle Lines , are their so called "call zone" ...

  Like Science Park Dr , NUH , Pasir Panjang , Alexandra , Telok Blangah , tio bo ?

  All the way to Botanical Gdns , Farrer Road .....

  I haven't heard from those day shift boys ..... maybe they will feedback us later .

  So Circle Line so what ?

  Throw key ?

  so technically that side will have less calls , more competition for bookings ....

  So ... some strategies odd to change a bit .

  day shift affects shuttle between holland - timah - b vista - raja - science park - nuh - nus - clement...

  4pm move down panjang used to hav cheepo amk avoid peak surcharge heading town... now u see them heading mrt stn...

  change tactic... sweep to areas tat ccl doesnt reach... more effort...
