No justice is done..!What do motorists loathe the most, people need the most when they are late & get none in town from 2230hrs – 0000hrs?
Have you ever asked a taxi driver to keep the change due to excellent service they provide? The next time round think twice before you do so in Singapore. Why? Because they can really piss you off when you wanna get a ride back home from town at 2330hrs. I believe no other countries have such a taxi service that you are required to pay so much just for a ride. ERP, public holiday surcharge & MIDNIGHT CHARGE! Here in Singapore after the clock strike 0000hrs there will be an additional 50% surchargefrom your total fare. So say if the trip cost $10 the total fare including the midnight surcharge will be$15. But we don’t mind paying that extra $5 since its a faster way home. The problem Singaporeans face are the taxi drivers! In order to make their trip cost effective taxi drivers here practice a bad & inconsiderate method.
From 2330hrs – 0000hrs you will not be able to flag down a taxi even if has no passenger on board. They will totally ignore you when you flag them down or put up a sign saying they are “on call” meaning they are picking up someone whom had done a booking through the phone. In order to earn that extra money they will park in some dark alleys or driving around town aimlessly in town waiting for the clock to tick pass 0000hrs.
It is an act that can make your blood boil or trigger a heart attack! This has been going on for years & yet the taxi companies seem not correcting this culture. There should be some organization made specially penalize these kind of taxi drivers. These are just something I don’t understand which is hearing time over time that drivers are complaining not having enough business!
Seriously I wouldn’t pity them if they met with an accident. I’m not being cruel or heartless but these inconsiderate taxi drivers are making our life miserable. So think twice the next time you compliment them.
When it comes to being a motorist you would wanna bash the daylight off the taxi drivers. They drive recklessly, switch lanes without checking their blind spot causing much accident to motorist!
But of course they one in a thousand taxi drivers have good souls & a gracious heart. Till the day comes for them to change for the better I can only pray to god to forgive them.
