hmmm...........if you are going to give birth, you maybe calling a cab to send you to KKH asap. But will you walk to the MRT station and take the train to KKH?Originally posted by FireIce:born in cab get free cab rides
born in train get free train ride?
If you really gave birth in the train, MRT may charge you $$$ for the train delay..... -
Sigh,money is never enough
-
Just like the casino issue.
When they say a decision has not been made yet, it means that it has already been decided.
Get ready for the Parliamentary debate after the fares have been raised officially. -
That's why I kani na bey eh tu lan , why ? We never pay GST ? We never pay PUB ? My family never take MRT ? Take bus ? Our taxi run on water , is it ? They increase fare price because of diesel hike , why ? Taxi not diesel hike ?Originally posted by Cindyfeh:Taxi drivers have their fair share of troubles too. They are paying for the same rental amount despite having more taxis on the road (where is the law of supply and demand?). The culprite is the taxi companies and not them. The taxi companies will earn when the taxis are rented out. They don't care if the drivers earn or not.
That's why I say they all kani ni na eh kao bu snake ~!!
Vote for opposition ! -
Yes ! 10cents increase from $2.40 also good , cover a bit of diesel hike !Originally posted by dragg:you want them to increase taxi fare too? -
See my profile la !Originally posted by dragg:is POOLMAN a taxi driver?

$2.40 only ...... must wait la !Originally posted by FireIce:taxi service so bad
i want cab no cab come
raise simi raise lah
If 4 people take MRT and change feeder bus cost more than taxi fare , they have to wait , then take taxi must wait also la dear !
Taxi service very bad meh ? You want taxi , you dial 6552-1111 , then press 1 , then wait for a taxi number ....then we'll be there in 5-8 minutes , service very bad meh ?

The government already justify for them already... the last increase they mentioned that the profit must commesurate the asset. So the more asset they acquire the more profit they must make and government must approve.... where got end to raising fare like tat???Originally posted by shade343:The rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.
I think the increase in fare prices can be justified if SMRT says it is in the interest of its shareholders and the company's competency -

Thats good $$$. On weekends he earns even more!
Last two years 2002-2004 maybe !

Comfort : 16000
Citycab : 8000
Silver cab : 400
TransCab : 700
Smart Cab : 200
SMRT : 2500

Just base on his diesel overhead , obviously he was saying something back at 2003-2004 !Originally posted by Manager433:One of my collegue who work as a part time nite driver told me he can earn as high as S$180 before deduction for his cab rental (S$45) desiel (S$10-15).

At that time , diesel price is low !
Now diesel anytime $22-$30 range , no $10-$15 liao !
Easy calculation ma ...... if he want to earn $180 , he needs to drive 360 km at least , if heng heng ( lucky ) , no lucky , he needs to ply at least 400 km !
If 350 km multiply by $0.82c perl itres of diesel = $28.70 !!
Where still got $15 diesel ??? There's no unless !
Diesel hike is taking $300 off averagely from taxi driver monthly salary ! -
From all the reasons they give for raising fares only one sound logical i.e oil price hike but WTF.When oil price come down they won't reduce fare citing other F**** reasons.

Read from saturday's newspaper that SMRT made record earnings last year

You force me to say this: I am also a part time taxi driver but seldom drive.
All I can say is I can earn that amount unless I go hide here hide there lah. -
In the end, we all will just talk, but nothing would stop them from making the hike.Originally posted by mistyblue:after election, someone will tell us the fare increase is needed or the monopoly will bleed and we'll have no 'public' transport....
