  During the merging , they cannot one shot merge one .

  Cos system need to shut down . then customer call no taxi liao .

  So 12mn - 5am , they will shut down partially Comfort system for maintenace , that was the time they merge bits by bits .

  I Citycab still got call .

  When Citycab on maintenace , Comfort hotline is active .

  When Comfort on maintenace , Citycab hotline active .

  They move me to Citycab , so they will enuf drivers to support when maintenace needed .

  That was what i found out .

  Half system on Citycab , half on Comfort .

  It was a difficult period for me .

  Cos sekali maintenance , wait 1 hour call then realized why no call , knnbccb .

  Thne bye bye throw key

  Is not easy for 2 giants to work hand in hand those time.......

  Many restructuring been done, staff were lay off, whole CityCab building was vacant subsequently.........

  Cablink was pressurize to improvise cashless system as fast........

  Many head was chop, many staff run away also, including a "famous" iron lady........

  Than came liberalized of taxi industry, the famous 3, red, silver and green came into pictures.........

  Aiya, to put back the puzzle bit by bit again, can write a journal liao........

  When too many Indian chief around, problem will arise.......

  Latest i40 I saw on the road, no more Comfort or CityCab logo, instead ComfortDelgro replace that, a lot of tell sign, but fark la, who's care........

  When Singapore transform, not easy for yellow top cabby to survive........

  Many people think that owning a taxi is easy, history had shown and proven........

  Subsequently with the lure of $10k per license, many surrender and ultimately, all the fleet under Yellow Top was spray to blue........

  Of course Goberment intervention also 1 of the cause the result of the downfall of yellow top era..........

  My presumption, don't need to agree on it, their are just too many version of story on that.........

  During the year 2000-2006 , that time taxi industry not liberalised yet .

  Taxi companies has got limit and control from LTA for the allowed taxi on the road .

  LTA never give taxi companies any more new taxi license .

  If taxi companies want , they can BUY those private owned taxi license from yellow top taxis , and become their own .

  This Comfort's Yellow Top Cabs Pte Ltd were set up to buy those private owned license from the private yellow top owner

  After CDG became a Holding , all Comfort Transportation , Citycab Pte Ltd and Yellow Top Cabs Pte Ltd , merge into one .

  No more Yellow Top Cabs .

  All blue and yellow .

  later stage , as low as $4k .

  Yah , hire a taxi from CDG .

  2007 , they started to spray all yellow top cabs into blue .

  Including mine , which i returned for a Sonata .

  30 Mar 13, 14:16

  Then at 2007 , taxi industry were liberalised , as in every taxi company have got the right to come out with taxis as they like .

  As long they buy COE , LTA will issue them new taxi license .

  Such moves caused yellow top taxis ( private owned ) , invaluable .

  It tentatively killed the private owned yellow top .

  30 Mar 13, 14:20

  Then from 2007 , CDG became yah yah kapala liao .....

  Until today , still non stop terminating their drivers ...........

  30 Mar 13, 14:22

  From my inner circle of hard core advance takers , no straight red.

  1 mth suspension

  3 mth suspension

  then indefinite

  then tio pok

  So there are 3 levels to attain before getting pok.

   

   

  before suspension, love letter will come.

  but my cdg friend play the adv booking system, he lost $1 levy to company, my hitting meter as if he picked pax and then stop meter after a short while.

His only problem is he likes to bid AJ to AP in the morning. Then bid liao wrong call and cancel. Like that loh...That's why I says there is some conspiracy going on.

  why go AP early am, and end up queuing during peak hour?

  i think peak hour current booking is better than waiting at AP
