Taxi's new modification.

The taxi meter rate.

Today was the first time i took cab to get to my mechanic workshop in Defu Lane. Not only did i not know abt the 10c increment, but what's more alarming was the rate at which it goes. It jumped by $1.40 for somewhat a distance which i can walk and reach in abt 3mins. I just merely looked out of the window before glancing back at the meter, and it jumped another $0.80.

I reached the workshop and paid the cabby $8.20 for a distance that takes me 20mins to reach. I just take it as buying the experience for that price. Hmm... Who might have guess or know when are they reviewing the taxi fares. The flagdown and meter fares might just be increased to >$3 and >$0.30 respectively with increments in various components i.e airport, peak charges etc. If that is the case then i guess companies like ComfortDelGro, SMRT will receive tons of complains, having uninvited guests visiting them frequently or cab services boycotted.

Dear commuters,
If i'm the CEO of either cab companies, i'd certainly review and lower the cab fares to ease the trouble/pain of commuters... But too bad, 'cos simply i'm not the CEO and the day will not come to see me in becoming one.
