Taxi drivers dig their own graves
-
With the increase in taxi fares, it was reported that most taxi drivers lost money instead of earn more as less people took taxi.
I think it is very dumb for taxi companies to raise cab fare. People will simply take less taxi and take more mrt and buses. The only people who will continue to take taxis despite the fare increase will be those people who likes to go clubbing until midnight, people who are late for work, appointments etc.

Perhaps as time goes by, ppl will start to take cab? after all, its still the fastest transport from west to east..

raise the fare somemore then people end up buy car loh.
-
Perhaps its the taxi company who is raising their rental fee in the first place, but i dont know. However, taxi driver's attitude are no good also
-
Whatever it is, taxi drivers have always been screwed, are still screwed and shall continue to be so.
Taxi companies collect their rent as usual but taxi drivers always have to bear the brunt of these policy changes.
Taxi drivers are internal customers of taxi companies. These are the mobile workforce who contribute the millions of profits to these corporations every year, yet they are squeezed dry and hard with their daily $90 rental.
Sad plight indeed. -
Yea, I guess now I see more empty taxis on the road.
-

Eventually the SG government wins because what as SG citizens can we do? Complain and gripe about our situation. At the end of the day we all bite our tongue and LL move on with life.Originally posted by xuandao:With the increase in taxi fares, it was reported that most taxi drivers lost money instead of earn more as less people took taxi.

Hint - the GST increase, the ERP increase, PUB bills increase, what fcuk increase la. -
Taxi fare = up
less pple take taxi..and as a result MRT and BUS fare go up since more ppl will take it
stoopid dumb idea...
the taxi drivers going around wasting pertrol looking for passengers... -
they increase the fares too much at a go.
-
Taxi company will always suck blood and NEVER lower their taxi rent. They just push all the problems to the consumers/passengers and their taxi-drivers.Originally posted by xuandao:Ok. So taxi company help their drivers to dig their graves and now is just waiting for the drivers to go in
And the PTC and LTA are always siding with Taxi company. When they want to raise fares, the PTC and LTA never reject them.
This is typical GUAN GUAN XIANG HU!
PUI!
-
Taxi companies raise the fares, and you blame the taxi drivers?
Sheesh.... -
Pity those taxi drivers who got family to raise
Not much income to support children *even they willing to accept lower price also can't, must follow company policy*

Nope. The gov will raise the ERP again in the not too far future to discourage ppl to buy car, approve another bus/ mrt hike to discourage ppl to take public transport. So eventually, ppl will have to take taxi.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:raise the fare somemore then people end up buy car loh.
